How Botree AI Product Recommender with SOQ is Driving Smarter Field Sales

For years, CPG brands have moved towards automation to streamline field operations.

The sales team followed optimized beat plans. Orders were punched digitally. Stock alerts helped avoid zero-shelf moments. It was a massive leap from paper-based systems and for a time, it gave companies a competitive edge.

But here’s the truth:

Every brand has automated.

Route plans? Standard.

Digital order capture? Expected.

Stock visibility? Basic hygiene.

These tools helped sale teams move faster. But it didn’t help them think smarter.

What’s Holding Back Field Sales?

Let’s take a salesman’s perspective.

For years, he has been covering the same beat. He knows which retailers stock what, how much they order, and when.

What does a normal outlet visit look like?

He enters, checks the stock levels, enters the same SKUs in the usual quantity, and then leaves.

It works well, but it’s stuck on repeat:

• Orders are based on habit, not data
• No insight into what’s actually selling
• No guidance on new products or how much to sell

Two Common Gaps in Every Field Visit

Limited growth in basket size and product range

Sales teams keep selling the same old products instead of new ones. This means basket sizes don’t grow.

Missing Out on Popular Products

Retailers often lack insight into what sells in nearby outlets, giving business competitors a chance to quietly step in and take business away if your salesperson doesn’t share the insights.

As a Result:

You sell less than you could

Outlets don’t grow their sales with you

Retailers become less interested in your products

These minor issues swiftly grow into major ones in a busy market with strong competition. To fill gaps in every field visit, you need more than just automation, you need AI by your side.

Why AI in Field sales

In field sales, AI marks the next progression beyond simple automation. AI takes into consideration several essential data points, such as sales history, stock levels, customer buying patterns, and market trends, to propose tailor-made product recommendations. It also suggests order quantity, predict outcomes, and always learn from fresh data rather than just completing pre-defined tasks. With AI support, the sales team can focus on building stronger retail relationships instead of just processing orders, ultimately selling more in less time.

How AI Makes field sales better

Imagine a salesman accompanied by an AI assistant.

What happens when they visit an outlet now?

As soon as they enter and look at the shelves, their AI immediately suggests:

Which products to recommend

What’s selling well nearby

How much order quantity should be suggested?

They’re not just guessing anymore or doing the same old thing. They have real-time insights to help them make better sales.

The job still feels normal. But now, it’s much smarter.

The real question is, does your sales team have an AI Product Recommender with SOQ?

If not, it’s time to get introduced.
