As a consumer goods manufacturer or a retailer, it is almost impossible to figure out what happens to a product at a retail execution management level. Once the product reaches the retail store; you don’t know where the product is placed, which products it has being displayed with, and how it has being displayed.

Since it is virtually impossible to be in every outlet and store at all times, producers and store managers find it difficult to accurately analyze what is happening at the shelves. Even if they were to somehow be present in every single store, it is still hard to oversee and monitor store­level consumer interactions and measure them in a productive and feasible way.
