Traditional merchandising
techniques often result in incomplete coverage of stores due to human resource
constraints and significant paperwork. Conducting a merchandising audit is
often associated with colossal amount of data, lost paper forms, and fraudulent
reports. Besides your merchandisers, performing retail visits, get exhausted
from filling out paper forms, spending too much time at points of sale, making
phone calls and visiting the office to report the results.
Therefore great number of
companies uses the services of third-party organizations (advertising,
marketing, consulting and BTL agencies) to organize merchandising process. The
disadvantages of this option are the costs, poor cooperation between managers,
loosing part of retail audit data, fraudulent reports, time gaps between a
store visit and appropriate company's actions.
The automated merchandising
amazingly differs from traditional merchandising. Today due to the new mobile
technologies merchandisers are able to perform retail audits using just their
tablets and smartphones with no need to visit the office to report the results.
All the data collected at stores is automatically synced with corporate
database and is instantly available for building analytic reports. The new way
of retail merchandising organization provides faster data workflow and reduces
time for decision-making, improving the bottom-line.
