POSM Deployment Verification in simple terms
Confirming that point-of-sale material like danglers, wobblers, stands and posters was delivered and put up. It gives you independent, on-the-ground evidence instead of relying on self-reported updates from outlets, vendors or staff.
In Mumbai and its neighbouring cities, pOSM Deployment Verification is usually run as a batch across many addresses, so route planning, consistent checklists and evidence review matter as much as the visit itself.
What the field team checks
- POSM received by outlet
- Material installed, not stored
- Placement as per guideline
- Condition of material
- Retailer acknowledgement
What you receive
- Outlet-wise deployment status
- Installed POSM photographs
- Undelivered / unused list
- Deployment rate by area
How a visit is run
- Addresses are grouped into routes by area and travel time
- The field person works through the 5-point checklist on site
- Photographs are captured against the points that need proof
- Every photograph and answer carries the job ID and location ID
- A supervisor reviews the submission and queries anything unclear
- Visits that could not be completed are marked with a reason for a revisit decision
- Completed visits are consolidated into one report
What to share before the visits
- Location list with addresses and contact names
- Checklist or instructions
- Required photographs and evidence
- Reporting deadline and format
When businesses use it
- Before paying a vendor, installer or agency
- After a campaign, installation or launch
- On a recurring schedule for compliance
- When an exception or complaint needs independent confirmation
Key takeaways
- POSM Deployment Verification replaces self-reported updates with a visit record: 5 checklist points, photographs and one consolidated report.
- The checklist runs from pOSM received by outlet to retailer acknowledgement, with evidence recorded against the points that decide the outcome.
- You receive 4 outputs: Outlet-wise deployment status, Installed POSM photographs, Undelivered / unused list, Deployment rate by area.
- Photographs are geo-tagged and time-stamped, every submission is reviewed by a supervisor and a random sample is back-checked — which is what makes a retail execution record worth quoting internally.
- Visits run across Mumbai City, the Western and Eastern Suburbs, Thane, Navi Mumbai and Panvel, and assignments typically start within one to three working days of a complete brief.
What to do next
If pOSM Deployment Verification looks right for your situation, these are the three things a field team needs from you before the first visit.
Scope
Put the location list together
Full addresses with a pin code, and a contact name where you have one. Location list with addresses and contact names is the first thing asked for.
Checklist
Fix the 5 points you want answered
Start from the list above — pOSM received by outlet — then add or delete points so nothing is left to a field person's interpretation.
Evidence
Say what proof you want back
Outlet-wise deployment status is the standard output. Anything beyond that is easier to agree now than after the first batch.
