Data-driven retail monitoring combines actionable insights with a nationwide field team to help CPG brands identify and resolve costly shelf-level issues.
RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RDSolutions today announced the launch of ShelfGain, a data-driven merchandising platform that identifies store-level availability and execution issues, prioritizes them according to potential revenue impact and deploys RDSolutions’ nationwide field team to resolve them.
CPG brands invest heavily in securing retail distribution, but products are not always available on the shelf when shoppers are ready to buy. While brands have access to more retail data than ever, converting that information into targeted physical action remains a persistent challenge.
ShelfGain connects ongoing retail monitoring directly to in-store execution. Rather than relying solely on predetermined visit schedules, the platform identifies where a specific sales risk exists and triggers a targeted store visit for intervention, in near real-time.
This allows brands to direct resources toward stores where action is needed most, rather than sending teams to high-performing locations simply because they are next on a schedule.
ShelfGain uses 1st and 3rd party data signals to find the stores where you may have sales risks. Underperforming stores and/or OSA issues are the most common points to monitor. Before-and-after photographs are captured during every visit, giving brands clear evidence of what was found, what action was taken and what changed as a result.
One of the most common issues identified is inventory that has reached the store but remains in the back room rather than on the shelf. The product has already been manufactured, distributed and paid for, but is unavailable at the point of purchase. Coresight Research estimates that in-store inefficiencies account for lost sales equivalent to 5.5% of gross sales.
“Insight without resolution is anxiety,” said Jacob Blondin, CEO of RDSolutions. “Knowing a shelf is empty does not recover a sale. ShelfGain turns that insight into action where it matters: at the shelf.”
“Brands do not have a shortage of retail data. They have a shortage of clear answers and the ability to quickly resolve,” said Lee Kallman, Chief Commercial Officer at RDSolutions. “ShelfGain helps brands focus their field investment on the stores where intervention can make the greatest commercial difference.”
From Signal to Resolution
Through ShelfGain, RDSolutions’ nationwide field organization, all employees of the company, can support a range of in-store requirements, including:
- Inventory and on-shelf availability: Identifying and resolving availability issues, including stock held in the back room.
- Promotional execution: Building displays and verifying that promotions have been implemented correctly.
- Product launches and resets: Supporting new product introductions, seasonal resets and wider merchandising changes.
- Operational accuracy: Correcting planogram and pricing issues while gathering relevant competitive intelligence.
- Proof of execution: Providing photographic evidence and documented outcomes from every visit.
By connecting store-level data directly to an execution network, ShelfGain enables brands to respond to issues faster, improve visibility across their retail estate and reduce the cost of unnecessary field visits.
