Traditional retail audit
methodologies often result in incomplete coverage of stores due to human
resource constraints and significant paperwork. Conducting a retail audit is
often associated with colossal amount of data, lost paper forms, and fraudulent
reports. Besides your field reps performing retail audits 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
retail-auditing 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 retail
auditing amazingly differs from traditional retail auditing. Today due to the
new mobile technologies field reps 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 audits organization provides faster data workflow and
reduces time for decision-making, improving the bottom-line.
