How Distributors Are Losing Thousands in POS — and What to Do About It

A few months ago, a distributor we work with rolled out $100,000 worth of new signage and POS kits across their market. When they checked back a few weeks later? Less than 65% of it was installed or even accounted for.

Sound familiar? Lost menus, unverified tap handles, scattered spreadsheets… it’s not a people problem — it’s a process problem.

And for most beverage and food distributors, that inefficiency is costing serious time and money.

The Quiet Cost of Disorganized Execution

Marketing teams send materials into the field. Sales reps are juggling priorities. Managers are chasing updates from texts and emails. And no one has a clear picture of what’s actually happening in the market.

Here’s what that leads to:

  • POS goes missing

  • Compliance falls through the cracks

  • Customer expectations aren’t met

  • Your brand presence weakens at retail

In this industry, execution is everything. And if you can’t see what’s happening, you can’t control it — much less improve it.

A Simpler Way to Stay in Control

That’s where EasyCheck comes in.

We built EasyCheck specifically for beverage and food distributors who are tired of chasing photos, hunting down signage, and wondering if their field teams are actually executing what’s been assigned.

With EasyCheck, you get a centralized platform to:

  • Track every asset by location, type, and status

  • Assign tasks to reps and monitor completion in real-time

  • Verify installs with photo uploads and time-stamped audits

  • Generate reports for chain compliance, supplier recaps, and team reviews

  • Streamline POS requests and ordering with built-in templates

It’s not just better organization. It’s complete visibility and accountability from warehouse to cooler.

Proof It Works: A Real Customer Story

One of our customers — a large independent distributor in the Midwest — was struggling with asset loss and install delays across 14 counties.

After switching to EasyCheck:

  • POS loss dropped 47% in six months

  • Compliance reporting time was cut in half

  • Sales reps saved 6+ hours per week on manual check-ins

  • Marketing teams had real-time access to store data and photos

The result? More trust from suppliers. Better execution in the field. And a stronger bottom line.

What Happens If You Don’t Fix It?

Let’s be honest — this isn’t a problem that fixes itself.

Without a clear system, you’ll keep:

  • Reordering materials you already paid for

  • Guessing what’s in the field

  • Relying on gut instead of data

  • Scrambling to prove compliance when suppliers ask for it

Meanwhile, your competitors are getting faster, more consistent, and more accountable.
