01

The problem

What we hear in this sector.

A

Field reps do store visits on paper and key in the results the next morning.

B

Trade promotion spend is committed on gut feel and reconciled months later.

C

Retailer sell-out data arrives too late to change anything.

02

What we build

The four things that move the needle.

01

Retail execution

Visit plans, planogram checks, photo capture and orders taken in the aisle, offline, on a phone.

02

Trade promotion management

Promotions planned, funded and settled in one place, with lift measured against a baseline you agreed.

03

Key account planning

Joint business plans with targets and actuals visible to both sides rather than living in a deck.

04

Sell-out data pipeline

Retailer and distributor data ingested into Data 360 so field priorities reflect what actually sold.

03

Where it lands

Field time spent selling rather than reporting.
