About Darren Runyon

It\'s a problem seemingly out of the control of consumer packaged goods companies: a promotions impact is minimized by lack of store-level execution. CPG\'s themselves don\'t have the resources to be sure that each store carrying its product have set up or maintained the proper merchandising and pricing - not to mention handled out-of-stocks.Acknowledging the frustration as well as the lost time and money that a lack of execution brings, Nestle USA\'s Glenn Smith touted the double-digit-revenue effectiveness of using consumers with smartphones to help identify and correct problems at retail.Nestle is addressing the issue by employing the services of retail intelligence and analytics company Quri.\" Quri enables you to move at the speed of retail, contact me to learn more.
