in outlets where the program was deployed

One of the world’s largest producers of beers and spirits with over 200 brands needed an efficient and scalable way to delight customers while providing profitable recommendations at the outlet level.

The challenge

With such a wide range of outlets and brands, it was difficult for this beverage company to develop a full view of their customers, consumers, and shoppers’ needs. The company needed a way to navigate their evolving retail reality in real-time, enabling them to deliver a better shopping experience without sacrificing margins.

The results

Increased shelf availability
Trax technology and image recognition was crucial to gaining an understanding of every shelf and outlet involved. By using in-store data and predictive analytics, they were able to gain granular SKU-level visibility to changing store conditions including placement, price and display and to take smart actions in store. Throughout the program, more than four million data points were collected in their region over the last two years alone.
Actionable data and insights
The brand’s perfect store program with Trax delivered actionable real-time execution reports to drive the best performance in the field. Within seconds of uploading a shelf photo, your field force understands critical corrective actions to close execution gaps, achieve store targets and build better customer relationships with every store visit. By doing so, they were also able to boost incremental sales and work with customers to give each outlet specific standards and recommendations. This resulted in 3x faster growth in outlets that adopted these recommendations versus non-participating outlets.
Integrated advanced analytics insights

With the help of Trax Image Recognition, their advanced analytics team was able to generate scorecards based on important KPI’s and provide targeted recommendations on how to improve each area. Not only did this information maximize growth for their business, but they were able to help their customers as well.

The bottom line

Trax Image Recognition empowered the company’s headquarters, regional leaders and field teams with a complete solution to optimize in-store execution and drive tangible business outcomes. Whether aiding their internal teams or supporting their customers, the implementation of Trax data and insights enabled the brand to give recommendations founded in shelf truth and optimize growth for their business.

Molson Coors unlocked insights on 17 KPIs with Trax Image Recognition

Molson Coors improved in-store execution and increased revenue by tracking more KPIs accurately with Trax technology. Molson Coors is one of the largest brewing companies in the world. The company’s portfolio includes iconic beer brands and other beverages, such as sparkling cocktails, hard coffee, canned wine, kombucha, cider and more.
Uplift in revenue

New KPIs Unlocked

Share growth at pure fridge outlets
+ 0 %

The challenge

Molson Coors needed higher visibility into store sales and in-store conditions. However, teams faced the following challenge: Syndicated POS data for beer was available in only two of the 10 Canadian provinces, covering less than 15% of the national industry volume. Sales teams had no clear answers to crucial questions: What brands see more sales uplift when on display? Is brand blocking more important than having the right adjacency? Is eye-level placement equally relevant across brands or pack types? Moreover, the accuracy and efficiency of manual in-store execution reports by sales reps were low: Only three KPIs were available through this approach, and tracking new KPIs meant rewriting surveys. Besides, due to the self-reporting nature of the surveys, the data was not always objective or accurate. As a result, the process of assessing the performance of sales reps and compensating them accordingly was cumbersome.

The results

Better shelf insights
With more than 15,000 Trax-powered store visits, Molson Canada has amassed shelf data extracted from 500,000 images taken across 6000 stores. This has helped unlock a wealth of insights on as many as 17 key performance indicators, compared with just three KPIs before working with Trax. These include complex metrics such as Fridge Purity, Compliance to Look of Success, Brand Blocking and Brand Adjacencies.
Higher share of volume
For the first time, Molson Coors can evaluate the impact of store conditions on sales by fusing Trax data with the brewery’s ePOS data. For example, in outlets with branded fridges, Molson Coors saw a 3% higher share of volume compared with outlets with impure fridges.

The bottom line

Molson Coors improved in-store execution and increased revenue by tracking more KPIs accurately with image recognition technology. These measures also helped sales managers engage in fact-based coaching sessions with sales reps, improving the effectiveness of sales teams.

Trax Dynamic Merchandising helped an organic kombucha manufacturer to improve Availability and retail insights to launch a new SKU

Producing organic sparkling probiotic tea, the kombucha brand launched into 900 stores nationally, with a small sales team. Managing tight deadlines and a new nation-wide retail footprint, the team needed help for the “sprint to the shelf”.

500-600

Placements in new stores

SKU development

New opportunity identified

Increase in retail presence
0 %

The challenge

The brand needed strong early launch results in more than 900 stores belonging to a major US retailer. As a result of selling within a tiered system; first to a distributor and then a retailer, the beverage manufacturer lost visibility to the presentation of products in-store and how the shelf was changing. They required a way to have coverage across all stores despite having a small team, to identify and correct retail execution issues and also to spot new market opportunities quickly.

The results

Ensured national coverage

Trax’s flexible workforce provides retail coverage for launch and growth stages. Trained retail representatives visited every store, merchandised, replenished shelves with back stock, identified out of stocks, documented product placement, and more. The work was captured via mobile, and data and photos were summarized in a dashboard.

Identified new market opportunities
Data collected from multiple signals such as real-time shelf conditions and inventory data highlighted additional insights for the team; some retailers were separating cans from four-packs and selling individual cans. This visibility into shopper behavior shaped future product introductions.

The bottom line

Using Trax Dynamic Merchandising the brand discovered that its products were missing from approximately one-fifth of stores. Leveraging the AI-driven merchandising platform and real-time images, the team was able to quickly identify gaps in compliance and fix the most urgent inventory issues first. Data collected using Trax also highlighted that 15% to 20% of the stores were breaking up the four-pack, validating that there would be strong consumer demand for a single pack type. This led to a stronger product line-up, with the launch of a single-can SKU. Overall, the brand, now found in 2500 stores, was able to drive a 25% increase in its retail presence with up to 600 new product placements.

Trax helped a top beverage manufacturer reassess its GTM strategy and grow market share

The results of using Trax were seen in just two weeks. Headquartered in Australia, this company is one of the largest bottlers and distributors of non-alcoholic and alcoholic ready-to-drink beverages in the Asia-Pacific region.

Accurate

SKU-level insights

The Challenge

The beverage manufacturer was the market leader within the iced tea category with a product penetration rate 15% higher than its closest competitor. However, Trax data revealed that the brand’s share-of-shelf was 4% less than its main competitor. The client sought to determine the reasons for lower share-of-shelf.

The Results

Trax analysis discovered that the client’s competitor had a larger number of flavor profiles compared to its own brands.
Realigned GTM Strategy

To leverage the propensity of shoppers to try more flavors, the client developed a promotional ‘buy 5, get 1 free’ offer. Trax competitive insights showed the regions and the exact stores that needed most attention. With store-level insights, the brand extended its range in the right stores.

Increased sales

The client’s focus on key regions resulted in a 5% uptick in sales in just 2-weeks.

The Bottom Line

The manufacturer realigned its go-to-market strategy and grew market share. Trax insights enabled the company to identify upsell opportunities, provide qualified leads to sales representatives and maximize all channel sales.

Trax Image Recognition provided a global brewer with answers to its core KPI questions

Trax helped increased revenues for the brand by 8-16%. Globally, this beer manufacturer owns more than 500 beer brands and has about 200,000 employees in more than 50 countries. They are the world’s largest brewer and one of the largest FMCG companies in the world.

8-16%

Average revenue increase

4.3k

Store visits per month

221 SKUs & 22 sub-brands

Covered

The Challenge

The client was struggling with the same questions that challenge most CPGs. Are our core SKU’s on the shelf? Is our brand positioned well in the stores? Is the correct promotional material present and visible? Are our retailers complying with our contracts? Why are these stores not performing? What are these stores doing to consistently out-perform the rest?

They were looking to answer these and other KPI questions in their modern trade outlets, and increase sales across the region without creating additional work for their sales reps.

The Results

The client’s sales reps visited 4,300 stores (super and hypermarkets, premium stores and wholesalers). The sales reps use the Trax mobile app to capture shelf images for 221 SKUs across 22 different brands. The images are uploaded to the Trax cloud for recognition and analysis, and within minutes, tasks requiring corrections, assortment, and compliance issues are delivered back to the sale rep’s mobile phone.
Aggregate data provides in-depth insights

In addition to store-level actionable tasks delivered in real-time to each sales rep, Trax also combines the data from every store for more detailed analysis. This aggregated data is processed through multiple industry-standard and custom KPI engines. The resulting dashboards and reports are available 24/7 to sales managers and executives throughout the region.

Using the live and historical reports, managers can easily compare the performance of every store. Under-performing stores are identified and researched for areas that need attention. Managers also study their over-performing stores to identify cost-savings and revenue-increasing ideas which they then replicate to other stores in the region.

The Bottom Line

Stores audited using Trax Image Recognition experienced an 8-16% increase in revenue.
