How Ready Is Your Distribution
Network for What's
Next?
Take the Distribution Execution Maturity Index — a free 6-minute self-assessment that scores how your sales & distribution operation performs today, shows which stage of your execution loop is holding the others back, and checks your self-description against the evidence.
Your Execution Score
A 0–100 score and maturity band, read for a network of your size and structure — and capped by your weakest stage, not just averaged.
Where growth is leaking
A dimension-by-dimension breakdown that names your weakest link, and flags where your self-assessment runs ahead of the evidence.
What to ask any platform
Ten questions to put to any route-to-market vendor — Vxceed included — ordered by where your loop is weakest.
Scored across Vxceed's execution loop
Five stages, one continuous loop — your results break down your score on each.
Signal & Visibility
How early and clearly you see demand, stock and field activity as it actually happens.
Planning Intelligence
Whether replenishment, targets and trade spend are set by data — or by habit.
Field & Retail Execution
How reliably strategy turns into the right visit, order and shelf action, every time.
Automated Response
Whether exceptions trigger an automatic next step, or wait for someone to notice.
Commercial Outcomes
Whether every outcome feeds back in — sharpening what you sense and decide next.
Why we score the loop, not a checklist
Legacy SFA and distributor-management tools were built to digitise individual tasks — an order here, a visit there. Vxceed's Lighthouse platform was built to run the whole execution loop as one system: sense what's happening in the market, decide the right action, act on the ground, adapt automatically when conditions change, and learn from the commercial outcome — feeding straight back into what it senses next. This index scores your organisation on every stage of that loop.
Claims, then evidence
Answer for how you work today, then check yourself: every dimension includes one "show me the last time" question, weighted more heavily than the rest.
Find the gap that costs you
Every stage between "Integrated" and "Self-Optimising" typically maps to real leakage — in fill rate, trade spend ROI and rep productivity.

Get a plain-English readout of what moving one maturity band up looks like — plus the questions to ask before you believe any vendor, including us, can get you there.
Ready to see your maturity score?
Answer for how your organisation operates today — not your roadmap. Three questions about your network, then 20 across the five stages of the loop, including one "show me the last time" question per stage. About 6 minutes.
A note on point of view: this index reflects Vxceed's view that execution should run as one continuous loop. The top answer on every question describes that loop. If you see it differently, the dimension breakdown will still be useful to you; the band less so.

Your maturity by dimension
Ten questions to ask any route-to-market platform
Ordered by where your loop is weakest. Ask them of every vendor you evaluate — Vxceed included. A platform that can't answer the first two clearly is unlikely to move your band, whatever else it does.

These questions reflect Vxceed's view of what a closed execution loop requires. They are not a comparison of named vendors, and a good answer from any vendor should be verifiable in a demo on your own data.
