FAQs
Wondering how OnShelvz works or have other questions? Here you go:
OnShelvz is an online app that gathers category/product review timelines and requirements from multiple retailers and across multiple categories, providing a central place for manufacturers and brokers to plan for product introductions and category resets. Manufacturers and brokers can track these timelines and requirements, including any changes retailers introduce along the way. OnShelvz also provides tools for adding notes, setting goals, and planning next steps that can be shared across the team. All this creates a unified process between manufacturers and brokers, offering transparency regarding category review timelines and requirements and reminders about key timelines, dates, and next steps. Manufacturers and brokers can work in lock-step and create a stronger partnership with the retailer.
Since you don’t have worry about tracking down category review timelines and requirements and changes along the way, you can spend more time focusing on building your business. OnShelvz helps manufacturers and brokers prepare for and succeed in category reviews and get products on shelf consistently and efficiently.
Currently, manufacturer teams and brokers rely on spreadsheets to track category reviews, which is a problem because retailer timelines and requirements often change, meaning spreadsheets become outdated quickly. OnShelvz allows manufacturer teams and brokers to all see the same timelines and requirements and stay up to date.

Another benefit of OnShelvz is that the software allows a user to track multiple product review cycles, across multiple categories, and across multiple retailers, making OnShelvz the single source of truth for everything.
