What challenges was AAVA Brands facing?
As one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing FMCG players, AAVA Brands faced growing complexity in its sales and distribution operations. Managing 30+ global brands like Suntory and Procter & Gamble (P&G) through over 5,000 field reps across General Trade (GT) and Modern Trade (MT) channels meant the need for unified, real-time execution became critical.
- Inconsistent alignment between strategy and execution across field teams
- No unified view of primary and secondary sales data
- Manual tracking of sales KPIs, beat coverage, and performance behavior
- Delayed responses to issues like poor must-sell compliance or missed coverage
What solution was implemented by BeatRoute?
AAVA partnered with BeatRoute to deploy our goal-driven AI platform, tailored for scale, flexibility, and frontline performance.
- Implemented BeatRoute’s Sales Force Automation and Distribution Management modules across field teams
- Integrated BeatRoute with Oracle Netsuite to bring real-time primary and secondary sales data into one view
- Enabled tracking of must-sell and focus-sell lists, mapped to retail execution KPIs
- Used features like attendance capture, geofencing, beat planning, and guided onboarding to streamline operations
- Provided sales leaders with role-based dashboards, making it easier to course correct with real-time insights
- Rolled out the platform across General Trade and Modern Trade channels with strong adoption
What Changed for AAVA Brands?
Within months of deployment, AAVA experienced strategic and executional uplift across multiple business dimensions:
- 18–20% uplift in field force productivity due to structured daily execution
- 25–30% growth in store-level sellouts, driven by sharper tracking of distribution and coverage
- Improved visibility and accountability across sales and distribution operations
- Reduction in lead time for resolving execution gaps
