One of the Largest Meat Providers Streamlines Store Audits and Enhances Product Quality with GoSpotCheck by FORM
Introduction
Founded nearly 90 years ago, the world’s second-largest processor of chicken, beef, and pork provides protein products to nearly every retailer in the United States, as well as restaurants, schools, hospitals, and more. Because their products are purchased—and consumed—by millions of people across the globe daily, this company is dedicated to ensuring product quality, safety, and efficiency across all operations.
To further these initiatives, the popular meat brand leveraged GoSpotCheck by FORM’s retail execution software to streamline store audits, gain real-time insights into product status and display execution, and enhance its partnership with one of the world’s largest retailers.
The Challenge
As the only company that sells chicken, beef, and pork through all major retail distribution channels including club stores, grocery stores, and discount stores, it’s essential that the brand successfully oversees operations across all channels. Prior to implementing GoSpotCheck by FORM, the meat brand faced several challenges in effectively managing operations within its top retail partner. They lacked comprehensive visibility into their in-store performance and execution, struggled to identify and monitor product defects promptly, and faced difficulties in tracking this data in an efficient and accurate manner.
The Solution
Recognizing the need for a robust retail execution solution, the meat brand adopted GoSpotCheck by FORM. The innovative software provided them with a suite of features, including mobile task management, dynamic photo reporting, and real-time insights into product execution within its largest retail partner.
The Results
Improved Communication with Retail Partner
After implementing GoSpotCheck by FORM, the meat company was able to establish a stronger and more valuable relationship with its main retail partner. They could now provide the retailer with accurate data and high-quality images of the products they shipped to stores, complete with relevant metadata like date, time, and location. With streamlined communication and enhanced transparency, the two companies were able to enhance trust and improve their overall relationship.
Actionable Insights on In-Store Product Failures
Because this particular company owns 20% of the U.S. beef, pork, and chicken market, product quality and safety are critical. By using GoSpotCheck’s capabilities, the brand was able to gain valuable insights into in-store product failures in real time. With the platform’s advanced insights and reporting dashboard, the teams could track and share product failure percentages, enabling them to identify and prioritize areas requiring immediate attention. This data-driven approach empowered the company to take prompt action, minimizing the impact of failures and ensuring every product at their top retailer met and exceeded safety and quality standards.
Enhanced Visibility into Execution
GoSpotCheck’s real-time photo reporting feature allowed the meat brand to capture photos of in-store displays and promotions, facilitating a clear line of sight into execution and compliance. They were now able to sort, analyze, and share these photos to get a complete view of execution across locations. This visibility enabled them to maintain consistency, quality, and compliance—resulting in satisfaction from both their retail partner and customers.
Conclusion
Through the implementation of GoSpotCheck by FORM’s retail execution software, the popular meat brand successfully streamlined store audits, gained real-time insights into in-store product defects, and improved its collaboration with one of the world’s largest retailers. As field reps utilized the solution’s smart and flexible mobile task lists to complete store audits, company leaders leveraged the platform’s dynamic photo reporting capabilities and real-time insights to make data-backed decisions and drive outcomes across operations.
Overall, the adoption of GoSpotCheck by FORM’s retail execution software exemplifies how leveraging advanced technology can revolutionize retail operations, enhance product quality, and drive business success in a competitive market.
