    How Field Agent Audits a Galaxy Far, Far Away

    Star Wars Modular / PlanogramOver its first six films, the Star Wars franchise generated approximately $4 billion in ticket sales (source: CNBC). At the same time, Lucasfilm accumulated $12 billion in toy sales alone.

    For Star Wars, it’s the merchandising, not the box office revenue, that really pays.

    And whether it’s Star Wars action figures or the merchandise stores sell year in and year out, Mobile Audits from Field Agent excel at bridging the gap between manufacturers and in-store operations.

    (It doesn’t even take a hyper drive to do it.)

     

    Field Agent crowdsources over a million smartphones around the world to offer instant visibility inside stores everywhere. With operations in the United States, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Romania, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, brands have never enjoyed such broad, ready access to their in-store products and point-of-purchase marketing materials.

    2. Price Checks

    Mobile Audits are used by many brands to ensure their products are accurately priced by retailers.

    3. Monitoring On-Shelf Availability

     

    In the immortal words of Master Yoda, “Fear is the path to the Dark Side.”

    If you’re a supplier, few things strike as much fear as out-of-stocks. Shoppers are primed and ready to buy, but your products are missing in action.

    Strike back with Mobile Audits.
