BeatRoute's TeleOrder AI Agent Takes Live Order From Retailer

Product Promoter App to Manage In-Store Promoters

BeatRoute is the app brands give their in-store promoters, with a dashboard for the managers who run them. Promoters check in at the store, record sell-out and stock, and photograph the display. You see it by store and by agency as it comes in. Are you a promoter looking for your employer's app? Ask your supervisor or agency for the login.

What a promoter app does

A promoter app is the phone app your in-store promoters use during their shift, plus the dashboard their supervisors and head office use to run them. It replaces the WhatsApp photos, paper sales sheets and phone calls most promoter teams start with.

In a normal shift, a promoter uses it for six jobs:

  • Check in with a selfie and a location check, so you know the hours you pay for were spent in the store.
  • Record sell-out by SKU and the stock left on the shelf, at the counter, every day.
  • Photograph the display and planogram (the agreed shelf layout), which AI grades against your standard.
  • Note competitor offers, prices and new launches, with a photo as proof.
  • Open product training, demo scripts and the day's tasks on the phone.
  • See their own sales against target, and the incentive those sales have earned.

Put together, those records show which promoters change what shoppers buy and which ones only fill the hours. That is what a promoter budget has to prove.

What to Judge a Promoter App On

Almost any app can mark attendance. Judge it on what it records after the check-in: sales, the shelf, and whether you can trust the data.

How a Promoter App Works in Different Stores

The app is the same everywhere. What a promoter does in a shift, and what you should measure, depends on the store.

Supermarket and hypermarket chains

The promoter looks after many SKUs in one aisle. The job is a full shelf, the right display and the right price, then pushing the promo pack. Measure share of shelf, gaps fixed and sell-out during the promotion. Reports roll up by chain, so you and the key account team work from the same numbers.

Modern trade promoter guide→

Electronics and appliance brand shops

Sales are few and large, and most start with a demo. The promoter logs each demo, scans the serial number at the sale and notes what shoppers asked for. Measure demos, how many of them turn into sales, and sell-out value.

Consumer durables→

Beauty and cosmetics counters

The promoter is a beauty advisor who sells through advice and trials. Grooming and a tidy counter matter as much as the sale. The check-in selfie lets a supervisor check grooming. Run counter stock checks and measure sell-out per advisor per day.

Cosmetics→

Start with a pilot in a few stores

Plan a pilot in a handful of stores with our team, then judge it on sell-out per promoter and missed check-ins. A demo is where that plan starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a store promoter?

A store promoter, also called a sales promoter or in-shop promoter, works inside a retail store on behalf of a brand. They show products, advise shoppers and try to win the sale at the shelf. A merchandiser looks after stock and display. A promoter is judged on the sales they make.

What is promoter management software?

Promoter management software is how a brand plans, runs and measures its in-store promoters. It covers which promoter works in which store, their targets, attendance, daily sell-out and stock, display checks and reports on who is performing. It is also called a promoter management system, an in-store promoter management app or a brand promoter app.

I am a promoter. Where do I get my company's promoter app?

Ask your supervisor or the agency that hired you. Brands use BeatRoute to manage their own promoters, so each brand gives its team the login and download link. This page is for the managers who run promoter teams.

Can the app catch fake check-ins or reused photos?

It can. Every check-in carries a selfie, a location and a time. BeatRoute Copilot flags duplicate scans, GPS mismatches, reused photos and other entries that look wrong. A supervisor then checks those exceptions instead of every record.

Can I measure promoter time in store, not just attendance?

BeatRoute records the location and time at check-in and check-out, so you see the real time spent in each store. Set that against sell-out, bills per hour and range sold, and you see which promoters turn their hours into sales and which are only present.

Does it work when promoters are hired through an agency?

Yes. Each promoter is tagged to the agency that supplies them. That lets you compare agencies on attendance and sell-out. Verified check-ins matter most here, because you are paying for hours you cannot see.

How are promoter incentives worked out?

From the sell-out each promoter records and you check, against the target set for them. Promoters see their progress in the app during the month. BeatRoute can sync attendance and payout figures with your HR or payroll system, so nobody rebuilds them in a spreadsheet at month end. It also connects with ERP and CRM systems.

How should I test a promoter app before rolling it out?

Run a pilot in a few stores in one city for a full month or one whole promotion. Compare sell-out per promoter, missed check-ins and rejected shelf photos with similar stores that are not on the app. If the pilot stores do not give you clearer data and better sell-out, do not roll it out.

Who is BeatRoute's promoter app not for?

If you have a few promoters and only need to know they turned up, a simple attendance app will do. BeatRoute suits brands with promoters across many stores, often hired through agencies. It fits best when you want sell-out, display checks and incentives in one place. Your promoters, field reps and merchandisers can also share one platform and one list of stores, each with their own daily flow.
