Managing retail audits
can be a challenging task. Field team managers are dealing with many people,
at many different locations, bringing
in a lot of information on many products.
The challenges are doubled if your team is geographically dispersed. In today’s
world field team members often work in different cities, countries and time
zones, or even speak different languages.
Among most common
challenges a field team manager faces with are:
- Scheduling and time-planning challenges (a rep can’t find customer’s location, got sick and must be substituted, etc)
- Getting inaccurate or undue information from the field reps (e.g. fraudulent reports, errors, lost paperwork, improper use of the working hours)
- Wasted time and productivity due to weak communication (via e-mail, SMS, office-calls) and slow paper submission
- Field reps concentrating on the paperwork, not customers
- Significant amount of fragmented information field reps have to consider
- The security of corporate data storage and sharing
- Weak analytics (managers often don’t have time and enthusiasm to analyze big amount of data from points of sales)
The key solution to solve
all the challenges listed above is to give your field team managers and field
reps the right tools to perform retail audit activities. Retail audit software can help companies to
overcome most of the common problems that office managers face managing field
teams. Companies that have adopted retail audit software out-perform those that
haven't through streamlining of the processes in the field and in the
back-office.
