In the competitive retail landscape, achieving store perfection is essential for success. SmartSpotter's crowdsourcing platform is empowering both large and small companies to enhance their in-store execution while saving valuable time and resources.
The power of crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing leverages a diverse pool of individuals—motivated shoppers—who provide real-time insights into store performance. This approach allows retailers to gather data on product availability, pricing, and promotional compliance without the overhead costs associated with traditional methods.
Real-time insights for informed decisions
SmartSpotter’s platform provides immediate access to crucial metrics. Retailers can monitor On Shelf Availability (OSA) and assess compliance with promotional displays in real-time. For instance, a regional liquor store used SmartSpotter to track the implementation of a new seasonal promotion on premium spirits. The insights allowed them to identify stores where promotional materials were not displayed correctly, enabling quick corrective actions that improved campaign effectiveness by 20%.
How is SmartSpotter changing the game:
- Nationwide coverage: SmartSpotter's army of spotters can access stores in every corner of the country, including remote areas that are typically challenging to monitor.

- Real-time insights: Spotters provide immediate feedback on product availability, pricing, planogram compliance, and promotional displays, allowing businesses to address issues swiftly.
