Built for the Field: How HandyCart Helps CPG, DSD & Merchandising

Field Teams Deserve Better Than a Clipboard and a Rolling Box

Intro:

If you’re in CPG sales, DSD delivery, or retail merchandising, you live out of your trunk and hustle store to store — all while managing tags, displays, shelf audits, and promotions. Most days, you're relying on bread trays, plastic bins, or a basic merchandise cart to get through your tasks.

You're expected to execute perfectly — but with limited access to efficient grocery tools, merchandiser tools, or proper scan coordinator tools, the job becomes harder than it needs to be.

That’s where The HandyCart Workstation™ makes all the difference.

📦 The Reality for Field Reps

  • You’re handling labeling, resets, audits, and photos — usually with scattered merchandiser tools

  • You’re working in multiple stores per day, each with different floor plans

  • You have no fixed workspace and limited access to store tools like scan coordinator carts or a reliable grocery cart organizer

  • You’re expected to be accurate, fast, and invisible

    With The HandyCart Workstation™, I roll in, set up on the store’s cart, and look 10x more professional. Store managers take me more seriously.” – CPG Field Rep, Midwest

🧰 Why HandyCart Is Perfect for Field Teams

  • Sits on top of any store cart — even those used as scan coordinator carts — no setup required

  • Holds everything: printers, tags, signage, tools, shelf dividers, etc.

  • Replaces the need to rely on multiple merchandise carts or loose grocery tools

  • Lightweight, easy to move between locations

  • Looks professional, organized, and intentional

  • Acts like a compact grocery cart organizer without the clutter

  • Makes your workflow mobile without looking like a traveling toolbox

🔄 Use Cases

  • CPG reps restocking or rotating SKUs with a cleaner alternative to bulky merchandise carts

  • DSD vendors checking compliance using their everyday merchandiser tools

  • Third-party merchandising crews working early hours with limited store access to scan coordinator tools

  • Brand teams executing seasonal promos in multiple stores

📈 The Business Case

  • Faster resets = more stores visited per day

  • Cleaner setups = better store relationships

  • Organized workflow = fewer errors and forgotten materials

  • Professional presence = stronger brand trust

  • Consolidates many grocery tools and merchandiser tools into one efficient system

💬 FAQ – Field Merchandising Edition

Q: Do I need to carry the cart with me?

No — The HandyCart Workstation™ is designed to fit onto the carts already in the store, including utility carts, merchandise carts, and scan coordinator carts.

Q: Will it slow me down?

Not at all. It keeps everything in one place and reduces the time spent looking for materials.

Q: Is it TSA-checked/travel-ready?

Yes — it’s lightweight and compact enough to travel with (many reps take it in checked luggage or vans).

🎯 Final Thoughts

Field reps are the backbone of the retail supply chain. HandyCart gives you the mobile setup you need to look sharp, stay efficient, and move from store to store without missing a beat.

If your team still works out of a crate, a clipboard, or an outdated merchandise cart, it’s time to upgrade.
