Retail Sales & Field Execution

We don’t just visit stores — we drive sales.

At Surge SMC, retail execution isn’t an add-on. It’s the frontline of your brand’s performance. With national in-store coverage and decades of FMCG expertise, we make sure your product is where it needs to be, looks the way it should, and gets the attention it deserves.

If you’re struggling with out-of-stocks, poor facings, lost promotions, or missed opportunities — we’re here to fix it.

Nationwide In-Field Sales & Merch Execution

From supermarkets and pharmacies to independents and oil channels, our field team is on the ground every week, executing with precision. We handle:

  • Direct-to-store order support and stock checks
  • Replenishment and rotation — ensuring nothing expires on shelf
  • Clean, well-built displays with consistent compliance photos
  • Accurate POS placement and signage for promo windows
  • On-demand product training with store teams

We work across chilled, frozen, and ambient categories, with the experience to handle complex product handling, storage, and shelf presentation.

Regular Call Cycles That Drive Distribution

Our programmed call cycles aren’t just about checking boxes — they’re built to grow your footprint.

Targeted store visits to expand ranging and distribution

Every visit is guided by data to close ranging gaps and push key SKUs into new stores.

Ongoing conversations with store managers to increase facings

We build trust locally to secure better shelf real estate and product visibility.

Weekly coverage for high-priority SKUs and NPD rollouts

Frequent visits ensure strong execution, faster traction, and early issue resolution.

Fast feedback loops from store to head office

Field insights are captured in real-time and shared instantly with your team.

Saturation plans for full-banner penetration

We execute region-by-region to get your brand stocked across every target store.

Shelf Space Protection & Price Accuracy

We protect the space you’ve fought hard to win.

Visibility

Provide photographic evidence and real-time reports through Opmetrix

Our job is to make sure your product shows up strong — every visit, every store.

Stock Management That Minimises Write-Offs

Stock sitting in the wrong place costs you money. We fix that.

  • Scan stock-on-hand and update through Opmetrix
  • Identify stock issues and raise them directly with store teams
  • Rotate inventory to avoid shrink and credits
  • Flag discontinued lines or hidden stock
  • Support warehouse-to-store issues through direct communication channels

Whether you’re self-distributing or working through a wholesaler, we help ensure product flows from DC to shelf, not into wastage.

Compliance, Insights, and Accountability

Every visit. Every store. Logged, measured, and visible to you.
We capture:

  • Store-by-store compliance against KPIs
  • Facings, ranging, and stock issues
  • Display execution and ticketing
  • Promo compliance and execution quality
  • Actionable insights shared with your team via Power BI

No guesswork — just real data and a crew that’s genuinely accountable.
