productivity.
Prepare weekly and monthly business review reports for management.
2. Dashboard Automation and Reporting Systems
Work closely with BI / IT / software teams to automate all manual reports wherever possible.
Ensure that the team’s time is spent on report evaluation and business analysis rather than manual

4. Distributor, Beat and Salesman Performance Tracking
Monitor distributor-wise performance, beat-wise productivity and SO-wise sales achievement.
Track active and inactive outlets, new outlet additions, beat coverage and productive calls.
Review SO attendance, field discipline and order productivity in coordination with the sales team.
Highlight areas where beat execution or salesman performance requires intervention.
5. Placement, Refill and New Launch Tracking
Track new product launch placement across regions and sales teams.
Monitor refill and placement data on a monthly basis.
Ensure launch execution is reviewed with ASMs and gaps are escalated.
Prepare state-wise and salesman-wise placement reports for management review.
6. Team Management
Lead and manage the GT MIS coordinators team.
Allocate responsibilities clearly within the team and ensure timely completion of all reports.

Ensure data received from SFA, DMS, ERP and internal sales teams is accurate and properly
validated.
Identify errors in data, duplicate entries, wrong mappings, missing distributors, missing beats or
incorrect product details.
Coordinate with the relevant teams for corrections and ensure clean data is maintained.
8. Sales Review and Escalation
Prepare management-level summary of key red flags and business concerns.
Escalate issues related to sales drop, distributor inactivity, poor secondary movement, low
productivity, delayed reporting or execution gaps.
Ensure that reports are not only prepared but also reviewed for actionable outcomes.
9. Coordination with Sales, IT and Management
Coordinate with ASMs, SOs, NSM, Sales Head, BI team, IT team and management for all GT reporting
and dashboard requirements.
Ensure all information required by management is shared accurately and within timelines.
