How to Log Merchandisers' Working Time and Tasks Across Different Retail Stores

Merchandisers are constantly on the move, visiting multiple retail locations to arrange displays, manage stock levels, and ensure products are presented attractively. Tracking the exact time spent at each store, documenting the work completed, and verifying display compliance can be a significant operational challenge. Jobsies.com provides a streamlined solution to log working hours accurately and capture visual proof of merchandising activities, enhancing accountability and efficiency.

How Jobsies Works for Merchandisers:

1. Store-Specific Time Logging: Merchandisers use a quick selfie to clock in upon arrival at a retail store and clock out when leaving. This captures precise work durations for each location, complete with GPS data.
2. Route and Task Assignment: Managers can assign merchandisers to specific stores, routes, or merchandising tasks (e.g., "Spring Promotion Setup - Store A," "Stock Replenishment - Aisle 5") as distinct projects or activities within Jobsies.
3. Visual Documentation of Work: Merchandisers can instantly upload photos of completed displays, new stock arrangements, promotional setups, or even areas needing attention (e.g., low stock, damaged displays). These images are automatically linked to the specific store visit and task.
4. Before & After Display Showcase: Easily demonstrate the impact of merchandising efforts by comparing 'before' photos of a shelf or display area with 'after' photos once the work is completed.
5. Real-time Reporting: Merchandisers can add brief reports or notes alongside their photos, providing context on stock levels, competitor activity, or any issues encountered, all accessible in real-time by supervisors.
6. Centralized Oversight for Managers: Supervisors gain a clear, immediate overview of which stores have been visited, the time spent at each, and visual confirmation of the merchandising tasks performed, all without manual timesheets or delayed photo submissions.

Key Benefits for Merchandising Operations:

• Accurate Payroll & Billing: Ensure precise time tracking for each store visit, simplifying payroll for employees and providing accurate billing information for clients or brands.
• Proof of Performance & Compliance: Photographic evidence of display setups and product placement offers undeniable proof of work completed according to brand guidelines.
• Improved Stock Management: Timely visual reports on stock levels and shelf appearance can help optimize inventory and prevent out-of-stock situations.
• Enhanced Team Coordination: Streamline communication between field merchandisers and management, allowing for quicker responses to any on-site issues or opportunities.
• Reduced Administrative Burden: Eliminate the need for paper-based time tracking and manual photo organization, freeing up merchandisers and administrative staff.
• Clear Accountability: Create a transparent record of all merchandising activities, fostering accountability and improving the quality of in-store execution.
