TG Appliance Group, owner of two of Ontario’s premier high-end appliance destinations, Tasco and Goemans, has chosen LEAFIO Shelf Efficiency to modernize its approach to showroom merchandising and floor planning across its 13-store network.
With a legacy spanning over 70 years, TG said it is now setting a new standard in how large-format retail spaces are managed.
“While most retailers rely on traditional shelf space to drive sales, TG’s showrooms present a unique visual merchandising challenge. The company specializes in showcasing large appliances—refrigerators, washers, dryers, and ranges—on open floors rather than on shelves. While there are shelving units along the store perimeters for accessories, the primary revenue drivers occupy the middle of the store, where visual impact and layout play a crucial role in the customer journey,” it said.
“Until recently, TG’s merchandising and floor plan management were handled manually—a process that was time-consuming, labour-intensive, and challenging to scale. With no software in place, teams across various departments collaborated to maintain showroom layouts.
“Our stores operate more like experience centers than conventional retail outlets,”
said Jenea Dent-Ali, the project’s lead stakeholder. “We needed a solution that could help
us manage and analyze the effectiveness of our showroom layouts without relying on
manual updates and guesswork. LEAFIO Shelf Efficiency checked every box.”
The implementation will provide TG Appliance Group with the tools to:
● Digitally create and adjust showroom floor plans
● Centralize merchandising operations for better team collaboration
● Track and analyze product positioning and its influence on sales
● Reduce the manual effort and time required to execute layout changes
“We’re thrilled to partner with TG Appliance Group, not just because they’re a well- respected brand in Canada, but because this collaboration expands the scope of what’s possible with our solution,” said Andrew Max, CCO of LEAFIO AI.
“Their floor-plan-driven model is the perfect canvas for data-driven merchandising.”
While many retailers invest in planogram automation for shelves, TG’s use case is unique—placing a powerful analytical tool at the heart of floor-based merchandising. The
implementation represents a new frontier for LEAFIO Shelf Efficiency, showcasing its flexibility beyond traditional fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) or grocery environments, said officials.
