Abstract
In some embodiments, systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein useful to manage a retail space. In some embodiments, cubic product representations within the retail location are provided herein which represent the actual space and location of products within the store. Data for the retail space, such as blueprint, floorplan, and item modular data, can be merged and transformed into a central database to create the cubic product representations. Further, the cubic product representations within the retail location can be provided to users through a user interface, such as a web viewer.

A retail location management system, the system comprising:
- a control circuit;
- a central database accessible by the control circuit and configured to store retail space two-dimensional data, spatial data, and product location data for the retail location;
- wherein the control circuit is configured to:
- retrieve the retail space two-dimensional data, the spatial data, and the product location data;
- create, using the retail space two-dimensional data, the spatial data, and the product location data, cubic product representations within the retail location;
- store the cubic product representations on the central database;
- and
- provide the cubic product representations within the retail location to users via user devices.
A method for providing a retail location management system, the method comprising:
- retrieving retail space two-dimensional data, spatial data, and product location data from a central database with a control circuit;
- creating, using the retail space two-dimensional data, the spatial data, and the product location data, cubic product representations within the retail location with the control circuit;
- storing the cubic product representations on the central database;
- and
- providing the cubic product representations within the retail location with the control circuit to users via user devices.
