Negative ROI
90% of all trade-marketing expenditures do not lead to positive ROI (USA, $30 million).

Intelligent solutions for every retailer and supplier
Correctly executed point-of-sale activations are crucial for success in retail channels.

Transparent work, clear results
Our mission is strengthening the relationship between retailers and suppliers. The best way is to reduce missed sales opportunities and maximise the efficacy of trade investments when matters the most:
In-store & in front of the shopper!
SmartSpotter is a unique crowdsourced-based platform that helps brands to improve in-store execution in real-time. The concept allows customers to take quick decisions and move from a fixed-based resource to a task-based resource.
Every detail counts
Promotional execution
Stock is correctly located in store, for both primary and 2nd placement displays, with agreed space allocation.
On-shelf availability
Adequate quantity of stock, that’s in-date and pro-actively replenished to avoid empty shelves during peak trading times.
Planogram compliance
Attractive shelves, with neatly faced products, compliant with planograms and share of shelf per SKU or brand.
POS materials
Presence and correct display of in-store media, including for seasonal campaigns, activations and product launches.
Pricing
Presence of price tags and price compliance per SKU. SmartSpotter can also provide competitor pricing insights.
Store performance
Improved promotional compliance leads to increased turnover, ROI and satisfied customers who keep coming back for more.
Smart retail solutions
Efficient store audits
Real-time insights derived from crowdsourced Spotters’ observations are delivered to retailers, suppliers and brands. So improvements can be made where necessary.
Field & Store reporting
Retailer and/or supplier personnel are supported by the SmartSpotter TEAM app to report on retail execution, on an ongoing basis.
Flexible merchandising
Trained, experienced merchandisers are deployed where needed to set up perfect displays and correct those identified as needing improvement.
Bad retail execution costs lots of money
Out of Stock
One of the many frustrations amongst suppliers is out of stock levels. Major retailers in Australia have 12-18% of their products OOS. Hence, consumers may choose a different brand or another store leading to missed opportunities!
Poor promotion communication
Research shows that 34% of promotions fail effective communication to consumers in stores. Also, 15% of locations do not have stock available.
Increased promotional turnover
Improving promotional compliance by 20% leads to a potential turnover increase of 7%
