Driving nationwide execution and visibility across nearly 2,000 convenience stores

When inconsistent availability and merchandising created gaps at the shelf, a leading consumer products brand partnered with Survey to improve execution across nearly 2,000 convenience store locations nationwide.

The challenge

A leading consumer products brand needed a scalable way to confirm promotional signage was properly placed, active, and visible across a national convenience retail network. With nearly 2,000 locations in scope, the brand needed confidence that promotional execution was happening consistently in store, especially at the point of purchase. 

The team also needed to identify inventory gaps, low-stock conditions, and out-of-stock risks that could limit sales performance. Because their internal team did not have the bandwidth to closely review every store-level data point, the reporting experience needed to make the most important issues easier to find, filter, and act on.

The Solution

Survey deployed a national retail execution program across 1,991 convenience store locations, combining store-level visibility with hands-on execution.

Field teams:

  • Audited shelves to evaluate product availability and merchandising conditions

  • Identified out-of-stock and low-stock inventory issues

  • Restocked available product and corrected inventory discrepancies

  • Identified and executed cut-in opportunities to expand shelf presence

  • Installed branded POSM to strengthen visibility at the point of purchase

  • Captured photo validation to verify execution

Survey also coordinated the distribution of marketing materials for installation in the field.

Through real-time reporting and photo validation, the brand gained greater visibility into execution quality, inventory conditions, and store-level opportunities across its retail network.
