The Best Way to Manage, Track and Execute Retail Audits

By Anonymous


Retail auditing means delegating responsibility to field auditors and reps to make sure that corporate strategies are being appropriately implemented. However, the traditional, paper-based way of performing retail audits leaves much room for issues that could significantly affect sales numbers, such as fraudulent check-ins.

When retail auditors report on incorrect locations not only do they provide wrong mileage and number information, but they also open the door to more serious issues such as frequent out-of-stocks, damaged shipments, etc, and these can seriously impact brand image. Therefore companies adopting retail audit software typically experience a ready return on investment.
