Monitor product levels and prevent “out-of-stock” issues

Having low or empty shelves is a reoccurring problem for suppliers and retailers, alike. It can, in fact, cost the retail industry £100k’s a year. To help avoid this scenario we can design an in-depth programme to investigate the root cause for any availability issue within your retail category. Our action plan will cover:

  • Open or Covert Audits
  • Stores visited 2-3 times per day, 2-3 times per week over a 2-3 week period, providing you with robust product availability data
  • Opens audits allows our team to work with store personnel to fix any issues, replace shelf edge, correct stock book errors
  • Loss revenue calculated using average rate of sales
  • Photographs taken during each visit
