Description
Understand precisely the financial impact of trade promotions and discover ways to allocate resources more effectively. For major consumer goods firms, managing trade promotions represents the second largest expense, often surpassing 15% of their total revenue. Sadly, numerous companies continue to face challenges in evaluating the return on investment for these promotions. Cognizant offers solutions to address this issue. To achieve accurate effectiveness modeling, it is essential to examine data from various sources, including point-of-sale systems, syndicated data providers, and internal sales, marketing, and operational data. Our consulting services in trade promotions management (TPM) and trade promotions optimization (TPO), along with our offerings in process re-engineering and solution selection, enable you to systematically assess ROI, allowing for better-informed future decisions. Additionally, Cognizant has developed C-Smart, an analytics tool specifically designed for brand management and category management teams within consumer goods organizations, which delivers actionable insights into aspects like the performance of new product launches, brand positioning across different categories, the success of promotions, and competitive landscape analysis. By leveraging these insights, companies can enhance their strategic planning and drive more profitable outcomes.
Description
PromoQuery is a robust trade promotion management tool designed specifically for companies in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sectors. It enables teams in sales, trade marketing, finance, and financial planning and analysis (FP&A) to efficiently plan and execute promotions tailored by customer, product, and time frame; oversee budgets and approval processes; monitor trade spending, accruals, and retailer deductions; analyze the differences between projected and actual sales volumes; and assess retailer-specific gross-to-net profitability alongside performance metrics. Users can easily upload promotional data via Excel, manually input deductions, verify claims against previously approved promotions, and handle reconciliation workflows seamlessly. Notably, the main software is offered without any licensing fees or charges based on the number of users. Additional features enhance its functionality, including optical character recognition (OCR), automated matching and validation processes, along with various integration options. This comprehensive approach allows teams to streamline their promotional strategies and improve overall efficiency.
