Empowering the perfect store
One of ConnectGroup's standout features is its ability to incentivise reps, drivers and shop owners to achieve and maintain a "Perfect Store." By overseeing the entire value chain, from the moment a rep places an order with a merchant to the point of sale with the end consumer, clients gain comprehensive insights into their return on investment at the wholesale level. This holistic view allows for a better understanding of shopping baskets at the last mile, enabling businesses to make more informed decisions and optimise their strategies.
