Modern trade execution costs serious money: listing fees, planogram negotiation, end-cap rental, gondola buys, festive POSM, and promoter shifts. A retail execution platform brings all of it into one workflow: campaign briefs to field merchandisers, AI shelf analysis at the outlet, multi-level audits at the back office, and chain-wise compliance dashboards that show whether the spend is actually showing up at the shelf.
From campaign rollout at headquarters to audit reports at outlet level, the platform closes the loop between trade marketing and field execution for Retail, Modern Trade, Wholesale & Distribution, Supermarkets, and Hypermarkets.
Trade marketing builds campaigns for each chain with the agreed listing, gondola spots, end-cap windows, and POSM elements. Campaign management handles both national rollouts (festive Raya, Deepavali, Christmas) and ad hoc store activations for new product introductions, with chain-specific picture-of-success references.
Merchandisers and promoters visit assigned stores, deploy POSM, restore planogram, capture before-and-after photos, log out-of-stock SKUs, and report chain-store-specific blockers (refused gondola installation, wrong shelf-talker, locked-out POSM cabinets). Every action is geo-locked to the store and time-stamped for chain audit defence.
AI image recognition reads shelf photos to score facings, planogram match, end-cap installation, and competitor share. Multi-level audits (L1 self, L2 supervisor, L3 brand spot-check) flag mismatches, log chain-specific exceptions, and route corrections back to the merchandiser before the buyer review.
Short reads on shelf gaps, planogram AI, store visibility, and the VisiMax app for Malaysian Retail & Modern Trade retail execution.
A retail execution stack built around the chain calendar: gondola windows, end-cap rentals, festive POSM rollouts, JBP audit cycles, and category buyer reviews, with photo evidence and AI scoring tying everything back to the trade investment.
Campaign briefs are built per chain with the agreed shelf elements: gondola spots, end-caps, freezer placement, shelf-talkers, dangler positions. Deployment status tracks against each chain's rollout calendar so the brand can hold the chain accountable to the agreed picture-of-success.
L1, L2, and L3 audits with merchandiser self-audit, supervisor review, and brand spot-check. Quality scoring at each level catches process gaps. Photo evidence and reviewer comments form a paper trail that holds up at chain JBP review when a buyer disputes execution.
Visibility index per chain: facings, hot-zone presence at eye level, brand togetherness, competitor share-of-shelf. Reports roll up by chain, region, store cluster, and SKU. KAMs walk into JBP reviews with a one-page chain visibility scorecard rather than a stack of audit photos.
Shelf photos go through AI for SKU detection, facing count, planogram match, and competitor adjacency. The model is trained on the brand's SKU library plus chain-specific shelf layouts. Routine compliance checks pass through AI without human review; exceptions go to the supervisor queue. Speed and consistency that manual audits cannot match.
Two flagship 1Channel apps run the entire field-to-channel workflow. Both are available on Google Play and Apple App Store, and both work with the same cloud backend used by the admin portal.
