Why do I need Field Sales?

Field sales support is adjusting to a post-COVID retail landscape.

Way before COVID-19 affected our lives back in early 2020, retailers across the UK were already reducing shopfloor headcount – this of course meant less time for store staff to focus on replenishment and shopper engagement, meaning a risk to potential brand compliance

Retail was and still is in some respects, operating with a reactive rather than pro-active approach to replenishment resulting in poor availability, and POS compliance.

Impact of COVID-19 on retail.

COVID-19 has accelerated many aspects of shopper behaviour.

One notable theme emerging from 2020 and continuing through 2021 is supplier range simplification and SKU reduction.

Once COVID-19 becomes stable, most economies will be in recession conditions and range simplification will become normal.

Suppliers are reacting by optimising ranges and concentrating on high-performing core SKU’s.

For example, Mondelez has reduced their 2021 SKU count by 25% – Kantar February 2021.

The battle for getting core compliance right in-store the first time is now even more critical. Product ranging has reduced by 7% overall – Nielsen.

Service Innovation Group is working directly with suppliers to support retailers with these core compliance challenges.
