RETAIL EXECUTION VS. RETAIL OPTIMIZATION

With the double whammy of inflation driving up labor, transportation, and raw material costs, combined with cautious consumers globally, now is the time to ensure your organization has the tools to properly execute strategies to build and organize sales growth and respond to global changing macroeconomic conditions.

Many retail execution solutions are antiquated and provide very basic “survey” and “take an order” functionality. They are not suited to seamlessly integrate or leverage the rapidly progressing new technologies that will either serve your company in its growth strategy or increase its capabilities as you battle competitors for an efficient and effective share of shelf.

Most organizations have invested around the edges, frankly, focusing attention on one-off tools or products that are difficult to leverage and, in some cases, impossible to measure in terms of effectiveness.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here, and billions of dollars are being spent to make sense of big data-generated analytics and to provide actionable, measurable insights to sales leadership.

StayinFront’s Retail Optimization Platform (ROP) is just that. It’s the leading-edge consumer goods platform adopted by many of the world’s top 100 CG companies that serves as the foundation to not only support your digital transformation but to provide the framework to drive cross-functional processes, leverage machine learning and AI and importantly measure your Size of Prize (SOP).

StayinFront ROP, with advanced imaging technology, artificial intelligence, analytics, route planning, and optimization, provides the necessary platform to drive your future growth strategies. This year, the Promotion Optimization Institute (POI) recognized StayinFront ROP for excellence in Advanced Imaging Technology (IR/AR), Analytical Insights, Mobile UI/UX, Playbooks (StayinFront Pitchbook® with Augment®), Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics (AI/MC) and Retail Activity Optimization (RAO).

The platform truly allows consumer good companies the ability to gain that competitive edge and “Know More, Do More,” and truly, “Sell More.” Contact a StayinFront sales rep and see our Retail Optimization Platform in action!

The AI-Enabled Field Sales Force: Measure and Goal Set

Most retail execution reporting proves that something happened at the same time as something else. Compliance went up in Q3 and sales went up in Q3, therefore compliance drove sales. Perhaps it did, or the weather was good, a competitor was out of stock, a category promotion ran, and compliance improved because your best representatives were reassigned to your best stores.

The AI-Enabled Field Sales Force: Pitch

The Pitch stage industrializes what good representatives do instinctively. The platform creates a custom pitch for that store buyer, for that moment in time, provides options rather than a single script, tracks the usage of the pitch through breadcrumbs so it can be analyzed later, and automates the administrative process of turning a sales pitch into an order.

Somewhere in the system there are dozens of exception rules firing daily into a representative’s task list. They flag out-of-stocks, price gaps, compliance failures and distribution voids. The rules work. The alerts are accurate. Even so, adoption is somewhere south of forty percent, because the representative opens the list, sees eighteen items, has time for four, and has no principled way to choose.
