Retail execution

Your merchandisers capture in the store, even with no signal

What changes, by person

Who does the process and what changes for each of them

Merchandiser

Today

Fills in paper forms or an app that freezes inside the store, where there is almost never signal.

With Atlantics

Captures and takes photos offline, with the day's route already loaded. Everything syncs on its own when signal returns.

Supervisor

Today

Learns what happened in the store from loose WhatsApp photos and can't prove the visit happened.

With Atlantics

Sees every visit with its capture and photo linked, ready to audit.

Trade marketing

Today

The execution report arrives weeks later, built by hand in spreadsheets.

With Atlantics

Sees execution the same day and schedules surveys by chain and by route from the dashboard.

Operations and IT

Today

The system goes down in peak season, right when the most captures come in.

With Atlantics

Handles peaks of 400,000 to 500,000 records a day, with role-based access.

FAQ

What brands ask before starting

What happens to what's captured offline?

It stays on the phone with its photos and syncs on its own, securely, when the merchandiser gets signal back. Nothing is lost and nothing has to be captured again.

Is it only for tobacco?

No. It serves any brand or distributor with merchandisers, sales reps or technicians who visit stores or customers: consumer goods, beverages, personal care and distribution.

Does it connect to our ERP or BI?

Yes. We connect it through APIs to the systems you already use, so information isn't captured twice.

Can it handle many merchandisers at once?

In GullData it handles peaks of 400,000 to 500,000 records a day, with more than 500 active users a day.

How much does it cost and how do we start?

It depends on scope: typical ranges go from under 100,000 to over 1,000,000 Mexican pesos. The initial analysis of your idea is free; then comes a fixed-price advisory that is credited to the build if you hire it within the term.
