When leveraging additional data chunks into your Routing, you can find the answer to one of the burning questions in FMCG: “When-to-go?”
In other words, you can direct your field sales force to the stores where you have the best chance of winning at the shelf right now. All based on a combination of both traditional logistical factors and the POS sales potential resulting from current business aspects.
Thus, how to plan optimal daily routes for your field sales force?
- Continue the journey with the fundamental logistical optimisation factors, like
territory, mileage, travel time or POS opening hours. - However, go beyond the current industry standard and take into account dynamic
visit frequencies, calculated and based on a dynamic POS segmentation. - Leverage additional data chunks, allowing you to determine the real sales potential
of the stores. - Based on this, include growth-driving business factors to your Routing as well, like
out-of-stock, next-best-action etc. - Update routes dynamically, adding the points of sales where your intervention
is indeed necessary.
