Improve your Retail Merchandising results and slash your operating costs in one easy step!

The objective is to increase retail product sales by reducing common recurring problems such as out of stocks. This is achieved by merchandisers who ensure that products are stocked and displayed correctly in stores.


What is Merchandising?


What Manufacturers of Consumer Packaged Goods Want from Merchandising Companies

They need ongoing evidence that their products are correctly merchandised on a continuous basis.

1. Accurate & Timely Merchandising + 2. Continuous Actionable On-line Reporting = 3. Improved Product Sales & Performance


How Merchandising Systems Deliver Results

Merchandisers represent many manufacturers during each store visit (leveraging time in-store to maximize revenues) to inspect, correct and answer questions on each product for reporting to each manufacturer.

Merchandising companies accept contracts from manufacturers to audit and correct their product issues in retail chain stores.

Merchandising software (e.g. Skemaz), is used to design online store audit projects for merchandisers to record outcomes on mobile devices.1 2

Manufacturers receive online reports telling them where product issues are (e.g. out of stocks) and what was done to rectify issues.Actionable report data allows them to reduce lost sales and increase turnover.
