Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud Retail Execution review
A Salesforce-centered field execution suite with visit planning, audits, inventory, and order capture.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Consumer goods sales and merchandising teams can use Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud Retail Execution to plan store visits and carry out in-store work. It combines field activity with inventory tracking, store audits, planogram checks, and mobile order capture, with web, iOS, and Android support. Salesforce positions it for internal field forces and external contractors, particularly where field teams already work in a Salesforce-centered environment. Its breadth is useful for organizations coordinating both sales and merchandising tasks, rather than teams seeking only a basic distributor order portal.
The editions are priced annually per user. Retail Execution - Merchandiser - Enterprise starts at $100 per user per month and includes visit planning and execution, inventory tracking, and Salesforce Maps. Field Sales - Enterprise is $225 and adds Einstein Visit Recommendations and Mobile Order Capture. Field Sales - Unlimited is $400, adding Einstein Opportunity, Account Insights, and Activity Capture, along with a Premier Success Plan and Full Sandbox. Strategic Sales - Enterprise is $350, with priority scheduling, continuous routing, territory visualization, and 100 Custom Objects; Strategic Sales - Unlimited is $525 and includes 200 Custom Objects, a Premier Success Plan, and Full Sandbox. Salesforce notes listed prices are informational and subject to change, and asks buyers to contact it for detailed pricing. A 30-day trial is offered without a credit card, but there is no free plan.
The standout operational fit is mobile execution: teams can work offline and sync store checks and orders when connectivity returns. Audits and surveys include promotional compliance checks, while planogram audits cover facings, out-of-stock items, and shelf share. Performance dashboards address retail business, store compliance, and sales; routing and AI-powered visit recommendations extend planning beyond simple visit lists. Salesforce Maps and MuleSoft are listed integrations. The annual per-user cost and layered editions make it less suitable for buyers wanting a lightweight standalone tool or free ongoing use. Choose it when field execution must connect to Salesforce workflows; compare alternatives if that ecosystem and scope are unnecessary.
