RA "Gradus" provides full coverage of the client's targeted program. The company operates in more than 25,000 TT. The targeted program is formed based on the Merch Impact Coefficient of each network

Well-built system of training and motivation of employees

Merchandisers on the project undergo special training and receive certification, so they know the product thoroughly and are focused on performing specific tasks. The training program for performers is carried out according to customer standards

Ready management and field structure

The Gradusa merchandiser database contains data from more than 6,000 resumes of field employees who already have experience working in retail outlets and are specialists in their field: they assemble shelves using planograms and confidently use modern accounting systems. WE are in constant contact with representatives of retail chains

Simplified KPI

When implementing projects, as a rule, a combined motivation system is used, which combines the work of performers and their achievement of KPIs according to collected planograms, shelf share, and DMP. The agency’s priority is regular monitoring of indicators and client reporting.

Automation of field staff significantly increases project efficiency. Gradus develops and adapts SFA solutions to project tasks. We integrate data through mobile applications and specialized programs.

Advantages of shared merchandising

  • Relatively low cost of service, as the payment for one merchandiser's work is divided among several clients.
  • Optimal placement of goods at the point of sale, as the specialist serves non-competing brands.
  • Loyal attitude towards the merchandiser from store management and employees.
  • The number of merchandiser visits per day at the point of sale is about six to seven.
  • Visiting merchandising is cheaper than stationary merchandising, and with proper application and high qualification of specialists, it is no less effective.

Shared merchandising

  • An experienced merchandiser works with several products at once in the store, rationally distributes their time and effort, focuses on details, instantly corrects display violations or removes incorrectly placed price tags.
  • The main condition for shared merchandising is the absence of competition in the serviced product groups, as our main task is to increase shelf space for each of the promoted products. Shared merchandising involves working with products from different product groups of several clients.
