Keeping Products Where They Belong In Front of the Customer
Every time your product is missing from the shelf, a sale is lost and often, a customer with it. In retail and food service, visibility equals velocity. Yet supply chain hiccups, planogram errors, or poor in-store execution can all lead to out-of-stocks that quietly drain revenue.
Mershimer Group’s On-Shelf Presence & Availability programs help brands make sure products are exactly where they should be visible, properly stocked, and ready to move. Through a mix of field intelligence, compliance verification, and data-driven insights, we close the gap between what’s planned at corporate and what’s actually happening in stores.
Turning Visibility Into Sales
We approach on-shelf execution as both an operational and strategic function. Our nationwide team of auditors and field specialists monitor your retail footprint to ensure your products meet placement, availability, and brand presentation standards at every touchpoint.
Our programs are customized to match your sales priorities. Whether that’s reducing out-of-stock situations, improving planogram accuracy, or supporting a new product launch or limited-time offering. The result is fewer missed opportunities, faster turns, and stronger relationships with your retail partners.

On-Shelf Presence & Availability
Why is on-shelf presence so important to brand performance?
Because nearly 80% of purchase decisions happen in-store. If your product isn’t visible or available, competitors win the sale and loyalty.
How does Mershimer Group measure on-shelf compliance?
Our field specialists conduct store visits, verify planograms, track availability, and provide photo-verified reports with key performance metrics.
Can programs be customized for specific products or retail partners?
Absolutely. We tailor programs by category, retailer, or campaign to match your strategic goals and distribution footprint.
How quickly can reporting be turned around?
Most audits and store checks are visible in our reporting dashboards within 24–48 hours, giving your teams near-real-time insights to act on.
