Spatial records for retail stores and portfolios.

Give property, facility, and store development teams a clearer way to document, review, and manage physical retail environments across locations.

The Challenge

Store portfolios need consistent, current building records.

Retail teams need a reliable way to understand store conditions, plan changes, coordinate work, and compare locations without depending only on scattered photos, drawings, and files.

Store information varies by location

Every site has its own mix of drawings, spreadsheets, and local knowledge, so no two stores are documented the same way.

Remote teams need reliable visual context

Property and development teams make decisions about stores they rarely visit, often based on photos taken for a different purpose.

Fit-outs, maintenance, and changes are hard to track consistently

Work happens continuously across the portfolio, and keeping a consistent record of what changed where takes real effort.

Drawings and photos may not reflect current conditions

Files age quickly in retail. What a plan shows and what the store looks like today can be two different things.

Six questions

The questions that should take seconds.

Retail teams already hold drawings, spreadsheets, photo sets, equipment lists, and project files for every location. It usually sits in separate places, held to a different standard at each site. The problem is no longer lack of data.

  1. 01

    What does this store look like today?

    A current, visual record of each location's layout, condition, and installed equipment sits in one place.

  2. 02

    Can we walk the store without traveling to it?

    Walk through any store from a browser to review conditions, verify details, and brief contractors.

  3. 03

    Does the fit-out start from current conditions?

    Designers and project teams get accurate spatial context before remodels, refits, and rebrands begin.

  4. 04

    Where exactly is the issue the service team is heading to?

    Service teams are pointed to the exact location of an issue, with the surrounding context they need to prepare.

  5. 05

    How does this store compare with the others?

    Layouts, conditions, and standards can be compared across locations, to spot inconsistencies and plan rollouts.

  6. 06

    Where does this fixture or equipment actually sit?

    Fixtures, HVAC, refrigeration, and other equipment are tracked where they actually sit in each store.

One store, end to end

One store, from the portfolio to the plan.

A single store shows what changes when the record is connected. The interface shown here is illustrative rather than a live customer system, and it follows the steps a property or store development planner actually takes.

  1. Open the store

    Pick the location from the portfolio and open it as a navigable space, not a folder of photos taken for a different purpose.

  2. Walk it

    Property, design, and operations teams review the store visually without traveling to each site.

  3. Read what is attached

    Drawings, equipment data, and files open at the place in the store they describe.

    Asset & Facility Management
  4. Plan the change

    Fit-out, maintenance, and refit work starts from what the store looks like today, not from a plan that may have aged.

  5. Compare it with the rest

    Every store follows the same structure, so one location can be set beside the others to spot inconsistencies.

Visual and spatial inputs

You do not need to start over.

SIMLAB connects multiple visual and spatial inputs into one environment, so teams can read a store at the level of detail a task needs. These are supported visual context examples, not a fixed list.

Immersive 360 capture

Walkthroughs of the sales floor and back of house, useful when a planner needs to see a store without booking a visit.

Industrial-grade scanning

Consistent capture across regions, delivered through a network of capture providers and supported devices.

BIM

Design context for new builds and refits, carried into the operational record instead of staying in the project archive.

Point cloud

Precise spatial documentation for the moments when a dimension has to be right the first time.

2D floor plans

Store layouts and fixture plans, in the format designers and property teams already work in.

A remodel can be reviewed against a 2D layout, verified against point cloud data, compared with design intent, and explored remotely through immersive capture.

Systems already running the portfolio

Your systems keep their data. The spatial layer shows where it belongs.

Property, facility, and store development teams already keep drawings, asset lists, and project records in their own systems. SIMLAB does not replace them. It gives those records a place in each store, so a planner can find, verify, and use them without visiting.

Design, reality, and change

Two products, one continuous record of every store.

A store changes with every remodel, and the file set rarely keeps up. Where stores are already trading, SIM-ON is the starting point. STAGES joins when the next fit-out or new opening begins.

How the work runs

From a captured store to a consistent portfolio record.

Five steps, scoped to your portfolio and your existing systems, from a single flagship to hundreds of sites.

  1. 01

    Capture stores

    Document each location with reality capture, from a single flagship to hundreds of sites.

    Reality Capture Services
  2. 02

    Structure records

    Organize every store as a navigable spatial record with a consistent structure across the portfolio.

  3. 03

    Connect documents and assets

    Attach drawings, equipment data, and files to the exact places in the store they describe.

  4. 04

    Support remote planning

    Let property, design, and operations teams review stores visually without traveling to each site.

  5. 05

    Scale across portfolio

    Apply the same capture and record standard to new openings, remodels, and existing locations.

Next step

Build a consistent spatial record of your store portfolio.

SIMLAB connects store layouts, equipment, drawings, and change history inside one spatial environment, so retail environments can be documented, reviewed, and managed across locations.

Speak With Our Team

Bring a floor plan, a scan, or nothing at all. The first conversation is about which question costs your property team the most time, and that is enough to scope what comes after.
