Tracking work / Shelf Tracking Audit

Shelf Tracking Audit

Structured store visits that record how household cleaning products appear on shelf — facings, gaps, promotions, and pack variants across agreed retail chains.

Even facings of detergent bottles on a supermarket shelf

Who it is for

Brand managers, distributors, and category buyers who need a clear picture of how detergents, floor cleaners, dishwashing liquids, and related SKUs actually sit in store.

What you receive

A dated audit pack showing shelf presence, facing counts, out-of-stocks, promotional tags, and pack size mix for your agreed cleaning categories.

Included

  • Agreed store list and category scope before fieldwork starts
  • Trained field visits with photo evidence of shelf sections
  • Facing counts, gap notes, and promo tag capture
  • Summary tables by chain, store type, and SKU family
  • A short briefing call to walk through findings

Outside this engagement

  • Laboratory product testing
  • Consumer interviews or focus groups
  • Media buying or retail negotiation on your behalf

How the work runs

  1. Scope call to fix categories, chains, and visit window
  2. Field team visits stores on the agreed route plan
  3. Findings compiled into tables and annotated photos
  4. Delivery of the audit pack and a clarifying briefing

Preparation

Share your priority SKUs, competitor list, and any store access notes. Confirm whether private-label cleaning lines should be counted.

Practical constraints

Access depends on store openness to quiet observation; we do not disrupt merchandising or staff workflows.
