Working Out the Logistics of Retail Audits

Audits are an important part of any business involved in retail. Retailers rely on recurring store audits in order to verify items such as safety, layout efficiency, and personnel training, while consumer good companies must frequently evaluate product display, price, and promotions, among others.

Naturally, the logistics needed to perform such audits can become quite complex, sometimes requiring a virtual army of people in order to cover a large number of geographically scattered stores.

Retail audit software helps retailers and CPG businesses make sense of this process and avoid outsourcing pitfalls such as high costs, loss of control over auditor qualifications, and confidentiality issues.

With retail audit software, companies will be able to automate the audit process by allowing auditors to use their mobile devices to complete custom forms, checklists, surveys, and tasks. Retail audit software also makes it possible for managers and supervisors go get real-time access to data, significantly speeding-up mission-critical decision-making.

Additionally, large groups of auditors and their recurring visits become easy to set up and manage with a retail audit software solution. State-of-the-art retail audit software will even provide time and GPS verification, authenticating the time and place where the audit was performed.

VisitBasis is a complete retail audit software solution that offers all the elements needed to perform mobile POS audits and surveys in one package.

The VisitBasis retail audit mobile app is available at Google Play and App Store and can be downloaded for free for an unlimited number of users.
