What it delivers
On-demand workforce

With 99.2% of all U.S. retailers covered by Trax Flexforce you can extend your coverage in an uncompromised way covering all channels, small format stores and rural areas.
Extend store coverage efficiently
Add Trax as an extension to cover stores currently not reached directly by your existing field-force. Depending on your route-to-market (DSD or distributor-led), optimize your coverage model by allocating specific operational tasks to Trax.
Leverage elasticity of Flexforce to solve specific in-store problems
Whether you’re looking to make merchandising progressively smarter or want fast support for ‘surge’ issues, the elasticity of our team means you can solve for your specific issues efficiently.
AI-driven merchandising
Our proprietary prioritization and optimization engines ensure that the most important merchandising tasks are performed on every visit, rather than following a plan that was prepared days, weeks or even months earlier.

Why Trax Dynamic Merchandising powered by Flexforce
-
Up to 20% sales lift
Dynamic Merchandising has delivered proven improvement in-store compliance. Results include a 15–20% sales lift, and a 25% increase in retail presence.
-
Transparency & Assured Performance
The photos taken in the store provide for total transparency into all rep actions. Every store visit is tracked, QA checked and scored using nearly 50 metrics to ensure the right job is done — every time
-
Identify opportunities
Detailed and transparent reporting reveals opportunities for increased sales. This can be as simple as avoiding lost sales caused by out-of-stocks or uncovering the potential for additional SKUs.
When you sell to a distributor, within a 3-tier system, who then sells to a retailer, you lose visibility to the presentation in-store and how the store shelf is changing. Trax brings visibility to retail execution as part of our go-to-market-strategy.
