The Challenge

Several operational and engagement gaps were limiting performance:

1. Limited Visibility into Retailer Engagement

No real-time insights into how store reps and retail distributors were interacting with promotions or trade programs.

2. Friction in Incentive Processing

Manual, claim-based incentive systems caused delays and errors, creating frustration among sales reps and distributors.

3. Lack of Feedback Mechanisms

Store reps had no direct channel to provide feedback on promotions, limiting program optimization.

4. Competitive Pressure in Tier 2/3 Towns

Local competitors were eroding brand mindshare due to insufficient engagement and incentive mechanisms.
