Coolberg Story

Launched in 2016 as India’s first crafted zero-alcohol beer brand, Coolberg aims at Millennials and teetotallers to offer a category-busting portfolio of drinks that are modern, trendy, and aspirational. Coolberg’s variety of premium zero-alcohol and alternate beverages brings its customers a pleasant respite with palate-teasing flavors and premium branding. 

The Goal

To offer a sensational drinking experience with an array of zero-alcohol beverages to diverse customers all across the country. 

The Wishlist

  • Grow market reach by identifying the universe of all outlets in Tier I and Tier II cities.
  • With the launch of new SKUs, they wanted to get quick customer insights and market visibility.
  • Achieve Business growth with better front-line performance.

The Hurdles

  • The sales force was shrunk by about 100 salesmen during the COVID crisis.

 

Blindsided by lack of data

  • Manual processes led to poor visibility on outlet penetration and new SKU-wise sales performance.
  • Inaccurate, and fragmented data affected product planning and primary sales for middle managers.

How did FieldAssist resolve these challenges?

  • Launched Beat-o-meter, a feature co-created with Coolberg to identify active and not-active outlets quickly and efficiently.
  • Improved on-field compliance for sales teams with features like geofencing.
  • Enabled focus product tagging to new SKUs.
  • Identified fast-moving products to achieve higher outlet performance.

What has Coolberg achieved today with FieldAssist

Market and product reach 

    • Meteoric growth in outlet coverage from 70,000 outlets to nearly 3,00,000 outlets with better Funnel Management of outlets. 
    • Market intelligence from the FA Analytics app helped launch Focus SKUs in the range of Rs. 10-15

Product Adoption 

  • FA App adoption went live within 15 days of intense virtual training, resulting in an immediate upswing in outlet performance and data visibility due to 24/7 access to videos for information about products and SKUs, primary and secondary schemes, etc.
  • Product Adoption increased from 70 to 350 users.

Real-time Market  intelligence

  • Granular, 7-level geographical analysis: Daily tracking of increase in outlet coverage using Nielsen data, which was further bifurcated under 7 levels of geographical hierarchy.
  • Comprehensive real-time reports like Employee performance report, Employee productivity report, Order Dump report, Outlet Master Dump, etc. for accurate market intelligence.
