BMF Merchandising Catalogue by BMF (Burlington Merchandising & Fixtures)

MERCHANDISING

BMF was founded in 2003 with the mission of helping independent retailers in the Home Improvement Industry renovate their stores. It has since grown to become the most complete solution for the design and supply of fixtures and displays for both dealers and vendors across Canada.

BMF provides a complete menu of services from design and permit drawings through to installation. We stock a wide range of shelving and merchandising accessories in our Burlington Ontario warehouse. This is a real benefit to customers who want extra components during or after renovations or need to complete a project with tight lead times. Our facility also houses BMF’s millwork shop which builds custom displays, sales counters, cladding and cabinets in support of store renovations and new builds. BMF designs and supplies exterior LED signage and pylons and offers numerous options for interior décor. Dealers can supply their own graphics or make use of BMF’s in-house design capability

Increasing merchandising intensity through use of overhead storage and efficient accessories has been a hallmark of BMF’s adding value for our clients. Our racking systems eliminate the need for hardware back stock rooms which lowers operating costs, improves service levels, housekeeping, merchandising presentation and inventory control. For some customers, the overhead storage allows them to operate in a smaller footprint which generates substantial savings on rent, utilities and TMI costs.

BMF works with many of the industry’s most respected vendors to develop display systems that help them win new business and refresh their presentations at existing accounts. Our team of designers is well equipped to create either freestanding displays or ones that integrate effectively with standard shelving systems commonly used in our industry. BMF’s assembly area stocks several thousand vendor products which are installed onto displays and shipped directly to stores on a daily basis. We use our network of field installers to cost effectively coordinate rapid rollouts if needed.

DESIGN

STORE RENOVATION PROCESS

BMF follows a disciplined approach to designing a store. This includes establishing category strategies for each of over 200 sub-categories, developing layout concept options and then allocating available linear footages based on the strategies. This is done for the entire business including Hardware, LBM and Décor as well as Service Areas. This approach ensures the store presents the entire business and reflects the realities of the local market, strengths and weaknesses, and the passions of the owner.

UPPER STEP BEAM

RACKING

This proprietary BMF system combines the convenience of traditional merchandising using Storflex posts and compatible accessories, with the strength and storage capacity of pallet racking for overhead storage. This “found” space has many benefits. It eliminates the need for back stock rooms, keeps staff on the sales floor, reduces stockouts, and allows for easy maintenance. Once merchandising planograms have been optimized they don’t need to be adjusted every time new stock arrives. Any product that doesn’t fit into existing facings goes overhead where it can be readily accessed when needed. No more forgotten products, missing bin labels or product on the floor. BMF’s overhead storage blinds allow for convenient access. Sections as long as 56’ can be raised or lowered with a single crank at the end of the aisle. These blinds also provide a great opportunity for branding the store and adding attractive imagery while hiding the often unattractive boxes behind. This system is especially attractive for hardware stores, building centres, pet stores, pool stores, paint stores and industrial/specialty wholesalers with fast moving products.

Core units can be mounted into the pallet rack in two ways. As Standard Cores which sit on the back beam or as Floating Cores which are supported by Front to Back beams that sit in the steps of the pallet rack beams.

STANDARD CORES

These are used most often around the perimeter of the store. They can also be used in the middle of the store if back-to-back end frames are used. This is necessary for some categories such as lighting or those that required pallet rack beams on one side. Standard Cores require special base beams at the back with built in levelers to translate the weight on the centre post down to the floor. Special brackets are used to attach the vertical core unit posts to the upper and base back beams.

Common heights for End Frames around the perimeter are 8, 9, 10, or 11’ depending on the desired amount of overstock space above the 7’ merchandising height.

Shelf Depth 16” 20” 22”

FLOATING CORES

These are used in the interior of the store and allow the use of a single wider end frame rather than narrow back-to-back end frames. These create a very stable unit and simplifies levelling and speed of installation. Floating Cores require 6 Front-to-Back Beams as well as centre post support brackets to translate the weight of the core unit and merchandise to the floor. Special brackets are used to connect the vertical core unit posts to the Front-toBack Beams. Both sides of the same Core Unit are used for merchandising. The most popular height for this application is 9’ end frames with merchandising to 7’ and 2’ of overstock.

GONDOLA

BMF has been the exclusive Canadian Distributor of Storflex Shelving since 2006. Storflex manufactures its shelving in Corning NY which is a convenient 3 ½ hours away from our Burlington location. Designed originally for the Grocery industry Storflex Shelving is the strongest on the market. BMF has developed numerous merchandising accessories to adapt this shelving to several other retail sectors including building centres and hardware stores. Double sided units are used in the centre of the store while single sided units are used for walls and end caps. Posts are made in 6” increments from 48” up to 96”. Shelves can be supplied in 1” increments ranging from 8” up to 30”. BMF stocks the most common sizes in the popular Pearl colour shown here. This is convenient for customers who need to add shelving or other accessories which are stocked in the matching paint colour and normally available for next day shipment. Other colours are made to order. All Storflex gondolas comes with a sleek 5” base design.

HARDWARE

BMF supplies a wide range of merchandising accessories colour matched to its standard pearl coloured racking and Storflex shelving and Core Units. We have designed merchandising solutions for most standard categories and are continually on the lookout for more opportunities to improve the overall merchandising presentation of the store. BMF has also designed many displays in joint cooperation with banners and vendors. This often includes installing display product in our facility before shipping to stores.

DECOR

The Décor category continues to grow in importance in many home and building centres. This is driven by a strong housing market and countless TV shows inspiring consumers to invest in their homes. Our clients are competing with high end specialty shops and the value of these purchases means homeowners expect to shop in an attractive environment that reflects the investments they are making. BMF has developed cladding systems and various types of displays that integrate perfectly with our racking and shelving systems. Because our millwork is made to order in our Burlington facility our clients can select the colours and materials of their choosing and rely on BMF’s design staff to make recommendations.

SIGNAGE SYSTEMS

BMF offers a complete signage décor program including graphic design, positioning, sizing, formatting, production and installation. Our unique blind system provides an excellent branding opportunity while covering unsightly overstock. Runs of up to 56’ can be conveniently raised or lowered with a single crank for easy staff access to overstock.

SERVICE AREAS

Service is often the differentiating factor that sets one retailer apart from the next. Service means many things but in the end the objective is to make it easy for customers to find help when they need it. A properly designed service area is both visible and functional. It needs to be attractive and support the overall imagery of the store. Service counters need to be durable and hold up under everyday traffic. They need to provide storage of supplies and reference materials and promote efficient flow of customer traffic and products while also being comfortable for staff. The in aisle work station keeps employees out on the floor yet doesn’t create the impression that it should be staffed at all times.
