About C-Smart
Know exactly how much you're paying for trade promotion—and how to spend it more efficiently. Trade promotions management is the second largest cost item for large consumer goods companies, often exceeding 15% of revenue. Unfortunately, many organizations still struggle with measuring the ROI of trade promotions. Cognizant can help. Accurate spend effectiveness modeling requires analyzing data from multiple sources, including point-of-sale systems and syndicated data providers, along with internal sales, marketing and operations. Our TPM/TPO consulting, solution selection and process re-engineering offerings help you systematically measure ROI so you can optimize future decisions. C-Smart is an analytics tool developed by Cognizant for use by brand management and category management teams in consumer goods companies. It helps provide actionable insight in areas such as new product launches, brand performance in different categories, promotion effectiveness and competitor analysis.

Wipro Promax
Trade spend is typically the second largest expense after cost of goods sold for Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) companies. With consumer behavior and retail partnerships rapidly changing, CPG companies need better capabilities to rapidly scale their trade promotion optimization tasks. Optimizing trade spend remains a challenge due to external factors such as intense competition within the industry, country-specific logistics management, and regulatory compliance requirements. Enterprises also face challenges due to internal factors such as data residing in multiple sources (ERP, POS data, and syndicated data from Nielsen and others), difficulties in gaining insights from pre- and post-promotion analyses, or the usual struggles of collaboration between sales, marketing, finance, and demand-planning teams. Wipro’s Promax® suite of solutions for trade promotion management, optimization, and execution (TPM, TPO, and TPx) is designed to address each of these business challenges.
