Field Agent overview

Founded in 2010 and based in Arkansas, USA, Field Agent offers on-demand retail solutions for CPG companies via a crowdsourcing model. The Field Agent’s network of work (Crowd) conducts visits to retail stores in various locations and countries to perform different retail monitoring tasks for CPG companies. Its offerings include (As mentioned on its website):

  • Retail audit for CPGs
  • Mystery shopping
  • Planogram audit and shelf evaluation
  • Promotional display audit

Shortcomings for retail customers

1. Small crowd/pool of participants

As compared to its alternatives, Field Agent has one of the smallest pools of workers (Crowd size), which is a significant drawback for a company operating on a crowdsourcing model. A shorter network of workers means that the company can cover fewer locations. Customers have also identified this drawback.

2. Incomplete tasks

Some customers highlighted that some of their retail audit tasks were not completed due to a lack of participants. This suggests that having a large and diverse workforce is essential for retail audit service providers.

3. Small global reach

The comparison revealed that Field Agent’s workforce covers the smallest number of countries among its competitors. This could pose a problem for customers with a worldwide retail network.
