Bringing intelligence to help you optimise your trade spend with speed and accuracy
Rising inflation, rapidly shifting consumer behaviour and an uncertain geopolitical environment. Three of many reasons why rear-view planning of trade promotions, is no longer the right approach for consumer goods businesses today. Whilst they have learnt to capture significant value from traditional revenue growth management fundamentals: pricing, promotions, assortment, and trade; a system with singular focus on fundamentals is not enough to meet the challenges of these external pressures, nor respond to advances in data and analytics or channel shifts following an explosion in omnichannel play.
Key account managers (KAM's) must respond quickly and with agility, often re-planning several times throughout the year. Rightly so, given trade promotions are one of the most expensive and time-consuming initiatives your business undertakes.
Technology can hold the answer, allowing businesses to consume vast amounts of data and replan quickly. However, these ‘one-size-fits all’ solutions often over-promise and under-deliver. We believe there is a better way.
Our goal is to equip KAMs and growth managers with a genuinely useful solution that helps them plan with speed, ease, and accuracy. We integrate multiple external and internal sources of data; and apply advanced machine learning and AI capability to determine the optimal promotion plan.
We understand there is no ideal ‘off-the-shelf’ solution in the complex world of consumer goods. We take the time to understand your organisation, bringing to bear our deep industry insight, configuring the solution to meet your unique needs so that you can focus on what you do best – rethink strategy, reshape proposition and rewire growth.
