Retail Audit UpVenta: real data for fast decisions

A retail audit is more than just a store check – it is the tool that shows you whether your sales strategy comes to life in every location. At UpVenta, we transform field data into actionable insights: we evaluate stock levels, planogram compliance, promotional implementation, and alignment with brand standards.Each visit provides a clear snapshot of in-store reality, helping you make fast and well-informed decisions that boost performance.

Our goal is simple: to give you the certainty that your sales strategy is correctly implemented across all stores. This way, your business decisions are no longer based on assumptions, but on concrete and actionable information.

Get a complete range of insights

UpVenta retail audits give you full visibility over in-store execution. Instead of relying only on internal reports, you receive objective data collected directly in the field, documented with photos. This allows you to see in real time if products are available, if displays follow the planogram, and if brand standards are consistently respected across all locations.

On-Shelf Availability (OSA)

You can’t sell what isn’t there. Our retail audit services eliminate this uncertainty by providing direct visibility into stores and on shelves, wherever your products are or should be.

Planogram Visibility

We use cutting-edge technology and specialized teams to monitor and report on how the planogram is respected in each retail location—ensuring that your products are listed, labeled, and placed in the correct spots according to presentation guidelines, thereby increasing your brand’s impact and recognition. Having clear visibility into the actual planogram allows you to react quickly and effectively to changes in the retail environment.

Product Placement Displays

We ensure that your products are strategically placed and displayed in promotional areas, such as end caps, special stands, or other focal points within the store. We evaluate and report on aspects like visibility, accessibility, and the visual impact of your product placements in the store, helping you maximize presence and attract more customer attention.

Evaluation of Promotional Campaigns

We verify how all visual and communicative aspects of promotional campaigns are implemented in stores. From promotion signage and communication of the promotional mechanics to the accessibility of promotional products, we ensure that your campaigns are executed as planned and achieve the desired impact.

Competitor Monitoring

Understanding your competition is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. Our retail audit services include monitoring competitors’ activities, from product placements and promotions to pricing strategies, providing you with valuable insights to adjust your strategies accordingly.

Brand Ambassador Evaluation

Your brand ambassadors play a vital role in representing your brand to customers. We assess their performance, ensuring they convey the brand message effectively, adhere to company standards, and contribute positively to the customer experience.

Ensure your products are always visible and within reach of your customers

A retail audit is an essential tool to verify if your products are present on the shelf, correctly displayed, and supported by visible promotions. By continuously monitoring stock levels, signage, and planogram compliance, UpVenta helps you turn the sales floor into an attractive environment that captures consumer attention and maximizes purchase opportunities.
