The retail audit is a set of measures to study the state of trade at a point of sale. It helps to understand how efficiently merchandisers work as well as sales at a specific point in general.
The retail audit includes an assessment of the availability and quantity of products at a point of sale, the availability and relevance of price tags, and the state of commercial packaging of products.
Additionally, as part of the monitoring of retail chains, the auditor checks the availability of advertising and POS materials and evaluates the use of branded retail equipment.
They also investigate the compliance of product layout with merchandising standards, the availability of promotions and discounts, the work of staff during promo actions.
This information helps to conduct a thorough analysis and develop a program of measures to eliminate deficiencies and increase sales.
Audit of outlets will help those who need to check the competitiveness of prices, the relevance of the assortment of outlets and the effectiveness of distribution and trade management.
