Field merchandising software allows brand owners to swiftly act on correcting price discrepancies as soon as they are reported by field reps.
- Shelf location - As a general merchandising rule, the products located at eye-level and closer to the center of the aisle will sell more, but prime space will cost more when negotiating with a retailer. Through photos, field merchandising software can help design and evaluate a shelf location strategy that best suits each brand.
