Optimise your stockroom. Improve store performance.
In today’s retail environment, limited back‑of‑house space, rising costs, and growing customer expectations put real pressure on store teams. When space is tight and speed matters, an efficient stockroom keeps products moving and service levels steady.
At SpacePlan, we create environments that helps teams work faster, keep shelves full, and maintain smooth operations.
Our designs maximise capacity, improve efficiency, and provide safer, smarter environments for your team, spaces that feel premium and work seamlessly to support your brand.
Outcomes You Can Expect
Every detail of your stockroom matters. With over 10 years of experience in the retail industry and a system designed specifically for stockrooms, we deliver solutions that consistently achieve better results for retailers like Accent Group and PVH Corp.
More Useable Space. Same Store Footprint.
Up to 60% greater storage capacity within your existing footprint, so you can hold the right stock mix without compromising retail space or customer experience.
Faster Stock Access. Quicker Replenishment.
Faster customer response times through streamlined stock access and replenishment processes. This means shelves stay full, service is quicker, and sales opportunities aren’t lost.
Improved Safety & Flow.
Better Staff Wellbeing.
Reduced Offsite Reliance. Lower Leasing Costs.
Lower rental and leasing impact by maximising every square metre of back-of-house space. Optimised layouts reduce wasted areas and help you avoid costly off-site storage.
Design That Works Harder
Typical design turnaround is 2-4 days. We provide plan views, 2D and 3D visuals, and capacity counts so you can see the improvements clearly. Our approach helps you calculate ROI by comparing cost per sqm of retail space against capacity gained in back-of-house.
Solutions Built Around You
We use your exact stock mix measurements, not generic sizes, to produce detailed capacity counts for shelving, hanging, and boxed goods. This gives you a precise view of what each store can hold and a reliable basis for planning and replenishment.
Local Stock, Fast Delivery
Made in Italy, our stockroom shelving is designed for reliable long-term use in busy retail environments. We keep strong stock levels in New Zealand and Australia so your stores get what they need quickly, even for last‑minute requirements, without delays.
Seamless Project Delivery
We handle every part of the process so your team does not have to. From planning and preparation through to installation and handover, we keep the work steady, organised, and predictable. You will always know what is happening and what comes next.
Our approach removes the operational noise, reduces disruption on site, and ensures your team can stay focused on serving customers rather than managing a project.
This includes:
- Clear timelines and communication
- Coordinated delivery and tidy installation
- Minimal interruption to store operations
- A clean handover with everything in place
- Follow‑through and support after the work is complete

Frequently asked questions
These FAQs cover the questions we’re asked most often. For more information, or guidance specific to your sites, please get in touch.
We manage the full process end to end across New Zealand and Australia. This includes planning and layout design, consenting and compliance support where required, procurement and installation, and ongoing care. You will have a single point of contact with clear updates and reporting throughout.
Yes. We create consistent layouts and safety standards across your network, while adjusting each site to suit its space and constraints. This allows us to achieve reliable outcomes across stores in both New Zealand and Australia.
We plan works to minimise impact on trading. Noisy activities such as drilling are scheduled before opening hours, typically before 9 or 10 am. Standard hours are 7 am to 5 pm, and we can work outside these hours if needed, noting additional fees may apply.
Our teams are experienced on complex retail sites and follow centre protocols. Recent projects include centres such as Manawa Bay, Commercial Bay, and Sylvia Park. You can expect clear communication throughout so store teams know what will happen and when.
Our in‑house team handles most installations to maintain quality and control safety on site. Where contractors are used, they are thoroughly screened to ensure they meet SpacePlan standards.
Our installers hold SiteSafe, attend regular safety and toolbox meetings, are trained in safe work practices for the tools they use, and wear appropriate PPE. They work to our internal safety standards in addition to government requirements, and they are experienced in complex retail environments with centre protocols.
For hand‑loaded, low‑rise shelving there is no specific New Zealand or Australian standard that applies directly. In most cases, building consent is not required when the installation remains within the manufacturer’s specifications and uniformly distributed loads. If documentation is requested, we can typically provide an installer PS3. A PS1 or PS2 is not usually required unless a particular authority or site condition calls for it, and we would need to be advised early in the process if either is required. If consent is needed, we will support you through the steps.
Yes. We assess your current space and make clear recommendations. This can include high‑level layout options to compare capacity across sites and indicative improvement and ROI estimates. We keep this guidance practical and decision focused. The aim is to give you confidence before you commit to any works.
