Food and Beverage Merchandising
JIG helps non-direct-to-store food and beverage suppliers keep their product in stock, accurately inventoried, and rotated for freshness.
Why is food & beverage merchandising important?
- 70% of purchases are made at the point of sale. If your product is not available, customers are likely to switch to a competitor and may not come back to your brand.
- Product rotation based on expiration date lowers spoilage, increasing profit margins.
- Count integrity is critical in the fast-turning food and beverage category. Inaccurate counts and voids disrupt re-orders, creating out-of-stocks and lost sales.
