Merchandising Services Agency
Our Merchandisers aren’t just responsible for filling the shelves.
They also make sure sufficient stock is available in the store to prevent future out of stocks.
If needed, they correct the store’s computer stock counts to make sure sufficient stock is being ordered going forward.
They also check that the correct pricing is showing.
They can build displays and look for extra display opportunities since they have such good relationships with people who work in the stores.
They check that compliance in store is correct: the correct products are stocked; the correct planogram is being used and that displays are up.
New Zealand has two major supermarket groups.
