Merchandising software has eased the lives of category managers with digital data collection, but still, they have to deal with many solutions not meant for the specific purpose of tracking on-shelf availability at stores.
Some merchandising software, however, do have embedded solutions for properly tracking on-shelf availability, and they include:
- The ability to set up SKU distribution or must-stock-lists by store, set of stores or chain
This allows the mobile app to display only the products that should be available at each location, reducing the possibility of merchandiser mistakes. - Fully customizable forms
By allowing category managers to fully customize forms, merchandising software more than just a way to track on-shelf availability and planogram compliance. Fully customizable forms enable many other in-store activities - such as customer surveys, sets/ resets, and competition assessment - using the same platform. - GPS and time stamps
Information on on-shelf availability of items is only valuable if backed up by location and time data. A fraudulent check-in, for instance, may result in extra shipments to a store that does not need them. - Instant access to captured data
The timeliness access to on-shelf availability of items is of utmost importance since a lack of products at stores means no sale.
