ShelfSenseFor brands that sell through retail
See every shelf. Build efficiency. Grow sales.
Shelf audits, orders and merchandising for consumer-goods field teams in Botswana, connected to the accounting system you already use. Your office sees sales, shelf availability and short-dated stock as it happens.
Android, iPhone and the web. Works in stores with no signal.
Sound familiar?
You sell into hundreds of shops you rarely see
Shelves are a blind spot
Empty facings, wrong prices and competitor displays are found weeks late, if at all.
Orders are typed twice
Reps send orders on paper or WhatsApp, and the office keys them into accounting again.
Stock and discounts leak
Short-dated stock comes back as returns, and nobody knows who gave which discount.
A store visit
Four steps on a phone, even with no signal
Check in
GPS confirms the rep is at the store. More than 250 m away is flagged as off site.
Audit
For each planogram product: on shelf or out, facings, shelf price and stock count.
Photograph
Geotagged before, after, display and competitor photos. No photo, no closed visit.
Order
Cases, a discount per line and VAT worked out live. Over the limit goes for approval.
In the office
Managers see the field as it happens
Dashboard
Net sales, discounts given, shelf availability and out-of-stocks by region, rep and product.
Approvals
Orders over a product's discount limit wait for a manager before they go anywhere.
Merchandising
Every visit's photos and scores, with off-site check-ins and photo-less visits flagged.
Sales reports
By rep, region, store or product, against last month, last quarter or last year, in Excel.
Promotions and targets
Reps check each promotion is on shelf at the right price. Every rep sees where they stand this month.
Stock
Cases on hand less open orders, so reps never promise what the warehouse can't supply.
Expiry tracker
Catch short-dated stock before it becomes a write-off
- The rep confirms each delivery and enters the expiry date of every perishable product.
- Each visit updates how many units are left, sold through, pulled or returned.
- The office sees what's expired, due in 7 days and due in 30, with the Pula value at risk, and can download it to Excel.
Shelf execution score
Score every visit, rank every store
One store index
Managers score visits on shelf execution, facings, price visibility and price adherence. Half the index is that score, half is sales into the store, so you know which stores to fix first.
Works with your ERP
Approved orders become invoices, without retyping
Stock on hand flows back to the reps. Every major system can connect today through a direct connector, the open API and webhooks, or CSV files.
