Del Papa’s rollout strategy enabled expedited growth by opening shelf space at their retail accounts to place more and new products.

In 2021, the tech-forward distributor jumped at the opportunity to eliminate unnecessary manual practices from their sales calls, enabling reps to focus their time on revenue-driving activities rather than counting inventory.

We decided to look at time-to-sell and cost-to-service to determine which accounts were the most burdensome on our folks and target those first.

The initial time-savings were significant for Del Papa, driving them to activate Retail Insights at more accounts. Encompass consulted with the Del Papa team and supported them as they started with the retailers where they had strong relationships. Leveraging the learnings with these customers, they easily rolled out the program to large format chains and convenience accounts by simply ‘flipping a switch' to activate pre-established connections within the Encompass Network.

Retail Insights did exactly what we thought it was going to do and created a lot of time for us to have meaningful interactions with our retailers and sell more. And I think we’re only scratching the surface.
