Executive Presentation

The Current Situation

• •Manual, paper-based store audits are slow, inconsistent, and lack verifiable evidence.
• •Discrepancies between system stock (SMFR) and actual shelf stock go undetected for weeks.
• •No real-time visibility into audit progress — head office is blind until reports are submitted.
• •Photo evidence is unreliable or missing — no QC review loop to catch poor captures.
• •Count errors and discontinued lines recur week after week with no tracking of repeat offenders.
• •No way to hold field managers accountable or compare store-to-store performance.

What We Built — Core Features

• •Mobile-first barcode scanner — scan to verify every SKU on the shelf, department by department.
• •Photo evidence with QC review — timestamped, store-stamped photos; rejected shots re-injected for re-audit.
• •Backup checklist & backup area tracking with structured reason codes.
• •Price change tracking — label updated / not updated, captured with photo proof.
• •Negative count corrections & discontinued-line-with-positive-SOH flagging.
• •On-shelf availability as the core KPI, with carry-forward auto-approval within threshold days.
• •Real-time Dashboard, Progress Tracker, Reporting & Compliance dashboards.
• •Photo Viewer — filter by store / supplier / category, download ZIP, export to Excel.

Audit Timeline — Start to Finish

• •Upload the weekly SMFR report → items distributed to stores by department & category.
• •Store auditor scans barcodes department by department, category by category.
• •Each SKU: scan → capture photo → assign status (On Shelf / Backup Area / Count Error / 2nd Display / Returns-Waste).
• •QC reviews photos centrally → rejects with a reason → store is notified to re-audit.
• •Price changes audited in parallel — is the shelf-edge label updated?
• •Progress tracked in real time; a completion email fires automatically when a store finishes.
• •Weekly cycle runs Monday 08:00 → Friday 17:00, with a live countdown driving urgency.

Where We Go From Here

• •Expand to additional store formats and regions beyond the current footprint.
• •Automated remediation workflows that action count errors without manual chasing.
• •Supplier-level accountability dashboards so vendors own their compliance.
• •Historical trend analysis across weeks to measure sustained improvement.
• •Native mobile app (iOS / Android) for true offline scanning in low-signal stores.
• •Integration with replenishment systems to close the loop from audit to action.

What We Need From You

• •Executive sponsorship to drive store-level adoption and mandate compliance.
• •Field-manager engagement with the leaderboard and gamification to sustain momentum.
• •Clean data — timely SMFR uploads each week and up-to-date store-manager mappings.
• •Feedback on which phase-2 features matter most to your team.
• •Budget approval for the native mobile build and additional system integrations.
