Plan the actual workflow
List merchandise that stays on display and stock that only appears during replenishment. Measure the route from the backroom while accounting for customers browsing. Explain how often the layout changes and where fixtures wait when removed. Display area gained at the expense of replenishment access may create daily handling problems.
Compare the storage arrangement
Compare stable shelving with mobile display pieces around the merchandise format. A wheeled fixture needs a parking location and a reviewed loaded-movement method. Record the largest packages and where they are opened. Confirm any wall fixing and circulation restrictions with the premises contact.
A useful brief for this project

Planning question
Does a mobile fixture remove the need for a layout?+
No. It still needs a safe operating and parking area, including during busy periods.
