Retail Execution Overview

Opmetrix Retail Execution is used by field teams to audit product ranges in store. These audits help teams understand how products and ranges are distributed and represented across different regions and store banners. The information that is captured helps managers to improve product ranging, monitor new product distribution (NPD) drives, measure stock health, and compare share of shelf/price data.

Audit/Template Types 

  • Distribution (Ranged, In Stock, On Promo, Price, Notes)

  • Share of Shelf (Facings, Position, Notes)

  • Price Ordered (Price, RRP, On Promotion, Notes)

Merch Template Maintenance

Navigate to the “Retail Execution” tab (AKA “Merch History” tab), scroll down and select the “Merch Template Maintenance” report from the bottom left of your screen. Select “Add Template” to create a new Merchandising Audit. Fill out the details for the new template as detailed below in this article.

Note: You will need to have access to the “Retail Execution” module (AKA “Merch History”) in order to access these functions. If the “Merch Template Maintenance” report is not visible in your Opmetrix App, contact the Opmetrix support team to enable this feature.
