Developing forms for retail retail data collection is a complicated task if a company relies on traditional methods, like paper or Excel spreadsheets. Therefore such marketing activities as merchandising, retail audits, customer surveys are often outsourced. The disadvantages of this option are the costs, poor cooperation between company’s managers and third-party organization’s supervisors, which may result in loosing part of retail audit data, fraudulent reports, and big time gaps between retail data is collected and reported.
The key solution to successful field marketing is choosing the right third-party, which is not a merchandising agency, but a company that offers a comprehensive field marketing software solution.
