Associated Grocers of New England (AGNE) will deploy GoSpotCheck by FORM’s mobile task management platform.
The implementation will equip AGNE’s field and member service teams with real-time shelf intelligence, merchandising visibility and task management capabilities. The platform will provide data and insights to the cooperative’s marketing, retail services and category management teams.
AGNE was founded in 1946 when 21 independent food retailers pooled resources to compete with supermarket chains. The organization supports more than 1,044 employees and operates a 484,000-square-foot distribution center in Pembroke, Massachusetts. The cooperative provides wholesale grocery distribution and retailer services to independent grocers across all six New England states.

“At AGNE, our mission has always been to give our independent grocers the tools and support they need to succeed in this competitive market,” said Eric Aguiar, AGNE’s VP of sales.
“GoSpotCheck gives our field teams a smarter, faster way to capture what’s happening at the shelf and act on it. That kind of real-time visibility helps us serve our members more effectively, and helps them win in their local markets.”
The GoSpotCheck platform provides a mobile-first solution for guiding store visits, streamlining data collection, managing tasks and surfacing insights to cooperative leadership. Image recognition capabilities offer additional execution intelligence including augmented reality tools for perishable department compliance.
“Independent grocers are the backbone of their communities, and cooperatives like AGNE play a vital role in helping them compete at scale,” said Jamie Oschefski, senior sales director at FORM. “We’re proud to partner with an organization that shares our belief that better data from the field drives better outcomes for everyone, from cooperative leadership to the store shelf.”
The AGNE partnership follows GoSpotCheck’s recent deployment with Associated Food Stores. FORM powers mobile technology for frontline workers with a field execution platform that serves as a digital assistant for daily tasks, data collection and real-time communication.
