Challenges

Traditional process was like Field Force visits retail counter and enroll the retailer for any such contest, the sales representative would decorate the display the and record the data (sales order for any particular product which is being focused for the contest, visit reporting etc.) manually and capture the image from his phone. Keeping track on Field Force daily activity was a tedious job. Once the retail shop is enrolled for the contest, there was no mechanism in place to track the product display on daily, weekly or fortnightly at retail counter level also, product sell-in during the contest period was also highly questionable. Decision making process for winner was ambiguous as available data used to be captured manually.

Our Solution

Astix has provided an end to end mobility and web based Solution, which empowers Field Force with smart phone managed store visit and in store merchandising. Mobile application enables Field Force to online enroll a retail store with Geo coding on google map. Field Representative can organize display, capture display images and sell-in data and store stock for smooth execution of operations. Also, he can rate the display images captured by him for creativity for further voting.

People in Sales hierarchy, i.e. TSI, ASM, RSM and HQ has role based access to data to ensure maximum security of data. The process for voting for the photos for the monthly award / overall award is supported as per defined process. Also, at different level users can view the shortlisted images. Additionally, Timely & accurate reports are available at the different levels of management to enable effective & efficient operations & planning.
