FAQ
Answers for beverage distributors and CPG field teams evaluating EasyCheck — field execution, POS tracking, pricing, compliance, and migration.
Product & who it’s for
What is EasyCheck?
EasyCheck is field execution and POS tracking software for beverage distributors and CPG field teams. It closes the gap between planned brand activity and what actually happens in retail — with photo verification, asset chain of custody, and audit-ready records.
Who is EasyCheck built for?
Primarily beverage distributors (beer, wine, spirits) and CPG field/ops teams that need proof of in-store execution, display/planogram compliance, and supplier-program accountability. Buyers often sit in ops, field sales, merchandising, trade marketing, or compliance.
How is EasyCheck different from a DMS or ERP?
EasyCheck complements systems like Encompass, VIP, or GreatVines. Those run inventory, orders, and accounting. EasyCheck is the system of record for execution — visits, photos, assets, and program proof — so suppliers and leadership can see what actually landed in account.
How is EasyCheck different from generic retail audit apps?
EasyCheck is distributor-native: POS asset lifecycle, supplier programs, compliance proof, and DSD field workflows — not a generic audit checklist tool.
Photo verification & field execution
What does photo verification mean in EasyCheck?
Reps capture timestamped, geotagged photos as proof of displays, placements, and checklist items. Those photos attach to the visit and program record so ops and suppliers can audit without a second trip.
Does EasyCheck work offline?
Yes. The iOS field experience supports offline store work and syncs when connectivity returns.
What retail execution KPIs can we track?
Visit completion, on-time execution, facing/display compliance, POS placement verification, exceptions, and program completion by rep, route, account, or supplier.
POS & marketing assets
Can EasyCheck track POS materials end-to-end?
Yes. Request → design/approval → print fulfillment → deployment → in-store verification, with chain-of-custody history so “where did it go?” has an answer.
How does EasyCheck help with POS shrinkage and co-op recovery?
By documenting what was ordered, shipped, placed, and verified with photo proof, distributors can produce supplier-ready evidence for program funding and compliance conversations.
Compliance & supplier programs
Can we prove supplier program compliance?
Yes. Structured checklists plus photo evidence create audit-ready records for promotions, displays, and placement requirements.
Who typically uses the dashboards?
Field managers, ops leaders, supplier-facing POS/marketing managers, and leadership reviewing execution by market or program.
Pricing & contracts
How is EasyCheck priced?
Based on active field users, dashboard users, and scope (verification complexity, integrations, onboarding). Every deployment includes the full platform — no feature gates. We scope a quote to your team and don’t change it mid-contract. Book a short walkthrough for numbers.
Are there setup or implementation fees?
Standard distributor rollout includes implementation: migration support, rep onboarding, and first-cycle live reporting.
Is there a minimum contract length?
Standard agreements are annual. Multi-year options can improve rates. Pilots can be structured around a specific supplier program when you need to validate fit first.
What if we need integrations?
Integration needs affect scope and pricing and are defined during quoting.
What happens to our data if we leave?
You own your data. On exit, EasyCheck provides an export of execution records, photos, asset history, and reporting data in standard formats.
Do you offer a free trial?
Most evaluations start with a 15-minute walkthrough against your programs and account structure. Larger ops can use a paid pilot tied to measurable outcomes.
Switching from OnTrak / alternatives
We’re on OnTrak — can we migrate?
Yes. EasyCheck publishes comparison and migration guidance for distributors evaluating alternatives. Implementation support follows the same rollout playbook as a standard cutover.
How does EasyCheck compare to GoSpotCheck or BrandMuscle?
EasyCheck focuses on distributor execution verification and POS chain of custody — not generic retail audits or print-fulfillment heritage alone. See the compare hub on easycheck.io for detail.
Security & trust
How does EasyCheck handle security?
Execution records are treated as operational system-of-record data: encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access (SSO/MFA available), and tamper-evident audit trails on record changes. Full detail: https://easycheck.io/security/
Where is EasyCheck based?
Founder-led and independently owned, headquartered in Addison, TX.
Getting started
How do we see a demo?
Book a 15-minute walkthrough from the homepage or contact page. Bring a supplier program and a few problem accounts — that’s enough to see fit.
How long is a typical rollout?
Standard distributor implementations often complete in about two weeks, including onboarding and first live reporting cycle.
