What CRM features matter most for FMCG field sales?

FMCG field sales needs high-frequency outlet visit tracking, fast order capture, distributor stock visibility, and route optimisation across dense territories. Lavisho TT provides GPS check-in, offline-first order and visit logging, territory routing, and target/scorecard tracking so reps can cover more outlets per day and managers can see distributor and retail performance in one dashboard.

Industry challenges

Sales challenges in fmcg

  • Reps miss outlets or visit the same shops repeatedly without a structured route
  • Order capture at the outlet is manual or delayed, slowing replenishment
  • Distributor stock and sell-through data is disconnected from rep activity
  • Sales targets are tracked outlet-by-outlet in spreadsheets that go stale fast
  • Attendance and travel claims for a large field force are hard to verify at scale
  • No visibility into which territories are under-served until sales dip
Solutions

How Lavisho TT fits fmcg sales teams

Retail outlet visit tracking

GPS check-in with geofencing confirms each outlet visit, with visit reports capturing shelf status and orders on the spot.

Distributor management

Distributor accounts, orders, and stock sit alongside rep visit data, giving one view of what is selling and where.

Route planning and territory coverage

Route optimisation and territory routing sequence outlet visits efficiently so reps hit more stops per day.

Offline-first order and visit logging

Reps can capture orders and visit notes without signal in low-connectivity markets; everything syncs once back online.

Targets and scorecards

Targets, scorecards, and rolling revenue forecasts track attainment by rep, territory, and distributor in one place.

Attendance and expense tracking

Clock in/out, mileage, and multi-step expense approvals are tied directly to the outlets each rep actually visited.

Field sales analytics

The Command Center dashboard shows visit frequency, order volume, and funnel conversion across the whole field force.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can FMCG reps capture orders without internet access?

Yes. Order and visit logging is offline-first, so reps in low-connectivity areas can keep working and the data syncs once a connection is available.

Can we track distributor stock alongside rep visits?

Yes. Distributor accounts, orders, and stock records sit in the same CRM as outlet visit reports, giving one connected view.

How does route planning help outlet coverage?

Territory routing and route optimisation sequence outlet visits by geography, helping reps cover more stops per day and reducing missed or repeated visits.

Can we verify that a rep actually visited an outlet?

Yes. GPS check-in with geofencing and an anomaly audit map confirm visit locations and flag inconsistent check-ins.

Can we set and track targets by territory or distributor?

Yes. Targets, scorecards, and rolling revenue forecasts can be tracked at the rep, territory, or distributor level.

Does the system handle attendance for a large field force?

Yes. Clock in/out, road-distance mileage, and multi-step expense approval chains scale across large field teams.

Is there a mobile app for outlet reps?

Lavisho TT runs as an installable mobile web app (PWA) on Android and iOS browsers; there is no dedicated app-store app yet.
