We cover every part of the city & beyond.
No other company has the coverage depth that Colgate has in Pune city.
TThhee bbeeggiinnnniinngg ..
Market visits showed that a lot of small/ marginal accounts were not covered.
This was prominent in the far-off extensions of the city.
Mostly small bi-lanes were never probed by our salesmen/ SOs during their
working.
The usual excuse of the salesman would be
These do not buy regularly,
The order gets cancelled, as they won t have cash at the time of delivery.
They did not buy when I visited them earlier.

OOppeerraattiioonn KKhhoojj pprreeppaarraattiioonnss::
The study was restricted to the New Pune & Pimpri - Chinchwad municipal
corporations & Metropolitan Area.
The operation started with a division of the city into certain blocks.
Each of these blocks had individual detailed maps with specific map reference nos.
so that its location in the city can be identified.
Each candidate was assigned a small part of the city in the form of a set of
adjoining maps.
The job of each candidate was to go to each of these areas and cover the entire area
on foot and list down the outlets in the area in walking order. Their mission was to
look out for and maximise the uncovered outlets. Each map area would take 3-4
days to cover.

OOppeerraattiioonn KKhhoojj pprreeppaarraattiioonnss::
First phase had the new Pune municipal corporation where 43 areas were identified
from the survey.
The candidates were asked to collect the census on a format, which will record
certain vital information about the outlet.
This data will then be compiled in the form of an Excel file and provided to us.
This data will further get arranged stockist wise/area wise and will hence throw-up
the gaps by area under each stockist area.
We would further take decisions on the realignment of area, appointment of
additional stockists, appointment of additional stockist salesmen, etc.

We had not kept pace with the expansion of the city.
Retailers feel privileged to be serviced by the Co., stockiest;
Most retailers are willing buy against cash;
There are some areas where Co., like Coke & Pepsi have a better service than other
companies;
Gaps exist between areas of two stock points.
Salesmen do not add accounts as they feel that the marginal accounts buy from the
beat wholesalers.
Most of the uncovered accounts sell only CDC & CTP out of our portfolio.
A stockiest can handle only a certain no. Of accounts.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Colgate currently covers 7087 accounts in Pune city, which is just about 50% of
the A.C Neilsen s reported universe of accounts in Pune city (14200 Accounts).
Any FMCG company thrives on its distribution strength. Distribution determines
reach.
It s a known fact that directly covered outlets have a much higher market share
for the company than outlets being covered through wholesale/indirectly covered.
Also the Speed to Market for any product/organization is a result of its direct
coverage
Direct coverage is the ultimate acid test for any FMCG company forms the
backbone for any organization in India.
Assumptions:
Practical recommendations/solutions will get implemented.
Stockists have to look at their overall earnings & it can be assumed that currently
they are earning enough to invest in infrastructure (salesman/auto units etc.).
Where ever necessary, new stockist can be appointed.
Project Timelines:
To start immediately and to be presented to Branch Team (BM, RSM, DM & Cust
Mktg) by 20th
August.
41. CCCOOOLLLAAAGGGEEETTT PPPAAALLLMMMOOOLLLIIIVVVEEE IIINNNDDDIIIAAA LLLTTTDDD
VIM, PUNE 41
Key Deliverables:
A list of uncovered outlets in the new municipal area of Pune and Pimpri-
Chinchwad municipal corporations and the Pune metropolitan area.
Present an assessment of the business potential by area.
Identification of 3 to 4 critical locations where new stockists can be appointed.
Restructuring the entire geography for optimization of coverage. This could mean
identification of new stockist locations, re-allocation of beats between existing
stockists, increasing route list accounts at certain existing stockists, etc.,
Finally arrive at a fresh route list at each stock point (both existing & new) in the
city & metropolitan area.
Important Considerations:
The final suggestions/ recommendations should take care of the rapid expansion
of the city limits and should be robust enough to sustain for the next 4 to 5 years.
Match our restructuring plan with 1 or 2 good companies with strong distribution
infrastructure in the city. This is just to validate our line thinking.
Any new stockist that is planned to be appointed should have atleast 480 accounts
to cover and have a business size of around 4 lakhs.
