The problem
In the store, but not on the shelf
Most empty facings are not a supply problem. The stock has arrived; it is waiting in the back store.
Average shelf availability we measured across 9 SPAR outlets in late September 2026.
Gaps at one outlet where the stock was already inside the store.
Availability at the weakest outlet: more than half the range missing for shoppers.
Source: our own shelf and back-store checks, 27 SKUs, 9 SPAR outlets, 20–29 September 2026.
Every empty facing is a sale that goes to someone else.
Why it happens
Small brands have no one in the aisle
Stock waits in the back
Deliveries reach the outlet, but cartons stay in storage until someone asks for them.
Outlet staff are stretched
Large brands send their own merchandisers. Smaller lines wait their turn.
Your own merchandiser costs too much
A full-time person runs to about LKR 100,000 a month with transport, for a handful of SKUs.
How it works
Four steps at every visit
One team serves several non-competing brands on the same route, so you get a merchandiser's attention for a fraction of the cost.
Check
Every SKU, on the shelf and in the back store: full, low or empty.
Refill
Move back-store stock to the shelf, face it up, check price tags and expiry dates.
Report
Time-stamped photos and a WhatsApp summary the same day.
Escalate
Flag true stock-outs to you and the outlet manager so the next order fixes them.
Coverage
10 SPAR outlets, visited by sales volume
Busy outlets empty fastest, so they get the most visits.
Galle, Kandy and Kurunegala are not covered yet. Ask us if you need them.

Proof
What regular visits did for one brand
An organic nuts and seeds brand in our group started regular SPAR visits in January 2025. Its SPAR orders on the same 21 SKUs grew 33% in the first year. 19 of the 21 grew, and average price stayed flat, so the growth is in units.
Simple maths agrees: lifting shelf availability from 71% to 90% brings back about 27% of sales.
Source: SPAR purchase orders to the brand, 2024 vs 2025. New products and market growth may also have contributed.
Pricing
Pay by SKU. Share the upside.
One monthly fee covers all 10 outlets. A small bonus applies only when your SPAR sales grow.

FAQ
Questions suppliers ask
Do you work with my competitors?
No. We take one brand per product category, so we never handle two competing products on the same shelf.
Do you deliver or sell stock?
No. You keep supplying SPAR as you do today. We make sure the stock that reaches the outlet gets onto the shelf, and we tell you where it is missing.
What do you need from us?
Your SKU list with SPAR item codes, and a letter to SPAR naming StockSure as your authorised merchandiser. For the growth bonus, your SPAR invoice totals once a quarter.
How fast will I see results?
Gaps fixed from back-store stock come back on the day of the visit. Most suppliers can judge the effect after one quarter.
Can I stop at any time?
Yes. The service runs month to month with 30 days' notice.
