Audit Tool

Audit Tool manages audit questionnaires during shop visits, focusing on indicators such as product availability and display compliance.
It allows multiple scenarios to be run for the same customer at the same time, based on the roles of the auditors (e.g. sales reps vs. Key Account Managers), enabling each to complete customised surveys with different questions.
This feature, unlike standard SAP C4C, provides complete data collection without overlap.

Audit tool interface displaying a question about warehouse stocking of strategic parts. The user selects an answer worth 100 points, with options to add documentation and comments. The audit shows progress at 36%, and a final score of 100 points out of 700. Buttons for navigating between questions and submitting or saving the audit are visible.

Case Study

Business Problem:

A retail chain faced challenges in conducting consistent store audits. The manual methods previously used led to errors, delays, and a lack of transparency in audit results. Audit data was scattered across different systems, making it difficult to track progress and implement improvements. Audits were not standardized, resulting in inconsistent evaluations of store performance.

Solution:

The company implemented the Audit Tool as part of the Perfect Store system, which allowed for standardizing the audit process. The tool automated the creation of questionnaires, data collection on-site, progress tracking, and result analysis. As a result, store audits became more organized, transparent, and based on consistent criteria, allowing for more efficient management of results.

Additional Data CapturePhotos and documents can be attached to the audit, providing visual proof to support evaluation.
Score SystemEach audit generates a score based on established criteria, offering an objective measure of store performance.

/03

Audit Review and Submission

Customer engagement

Points of engagement (POE)

Ensure Points of Engagement are strategically placed in the store to attract customer attention. During visits, move between these points and verify their status using configured surveys, questions, tasks, and attachments (e.g., planograms). Questions should cover planogram compliance, inventory levels, promotions, and displays for comprehensive assessment.
