Independent store audits show where execution is working, where standards are being missed and where sales teams should focus to improve distribution, availability, visibility and promotional compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Each programme is designed around the client&#8217;s sales and trade marketing priorities. Cimigo can measure product availability, range, facings, pricing, displays, point-of-sale materials, promotions, stock levels, retailer agreements and other execution standards. Results can be compared across regions, channels, outlet types, distributors and sales territories to identify performance gaps and opportunities for improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Cimigo&#8217;s trained auditors use the OnMobile application to capture observations, photographs and audit data digitally at each outlet. GPS location, interview start and end times and photographs linked to individual audit questions provide additional quality control and verification.<\/p>\n<p>Results are available rapidly, enabling sales and trade marketing teams to identify problems, recognise strong execution and take corrective action. Cimigo provides an independent and objective measure of what is actually happening in-store.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sales force effectiveness studies typically measure:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n.cimigo-sfe-grid {\n    display: grid;\n    grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);\n    gap: 24px;\n    margin: 24px 0;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.cimigo-sfe-item {\n    text-align: center;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.cimigo-sfe-item img {\n    width: 100%;\n    height: 160px;\n    object-fit: cover;\n    display: block;\n    margin: 0 0 12px 0;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.cimigo-sfe-item p {\n    margin: 0;\n    line-height: 1.4;\n}<\/p>\n<p>@media (max-width: 900px) {\n    .cimigo-sfe-grid {\n        grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);\n    }\n}<\/p>\n<p>@media (max-width: 600px) {\n    .cimigo-sfe-grid {\n        grid-template-columns: 1fr;\n    }<\/p>\n<p>    .cimigo-sfe-item img {\n        height: auto;\n    }\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"cimigo-sfe-grid\">\n<div class=\"cimigo-sfe-item\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rectangle-342.png\" alt=\"Independent retail execution audit\"><\/p>\n<p>Independent measurement against defined execution standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cimigo-sfe-item\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rectangle-343.png\" alt=\"In-store brand execution\"><\/p>\n<p>In-store compliance with brand and execution standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cimigo-sfe-item\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rectangle-344.png\" alt=\"Retail performance comparison\"><\/p>\n<p>Performance comparisons across outlet types, channels and locations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cimigo-sfe-item\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rectangle-345.png\" alt=\"Trade promotion compliance\"><\/p>\n<p>Trade promotion and activation compliance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cimigo-sfe-item\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rectangle-346.png\" alt=\"Stock availability and retail standards\"><\/p>\n<p>Stock availability and outlet standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cimigo-sfe-item\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rectangle-347.png\" alt=\"Product range pricing facings and displays\"><\/p>\n<p>Range, facings, pricing, servicing and display compliance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cimigo-sfe-item\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rectangle-348.png\" alt=\"Retail environment standards\"><\/p>\n<p>Retail environment and merchandising standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cimigo-sfe-item\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rectangle-349.png\" alt=\"Identify retail execution problems\"><\/p>\n<p>Identification of execution gaps and problem areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cimigo-sfe-item\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rectangle-350.png\" alt=\"Best performing retail outlets\"><\/p>\n<p>Identification and benchmarking of best performers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cimigo-sfe-item\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rectangle-351.png\" alt=\"Improve sales force effectiveness\"><\/p>\n<p>Clear priorities and actions for improvement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sales force effectiveness and retail execution Cimigo measures sales force effectiveness and retail execution across on-trade and off-trade outlets.
