It goes without saying that we now live in an era of continuous global disruptions that send shocks across many supply chains. Rapid consumer demand shifts are splintering investment decisions and processes even as global trends become more digitally transformative.

Many consumer-packaged goods (CPG) organizations struggle to identify profitable investment decisions that withstand various market disruptions. As volatility and uncertainty increase, it becomes imperative that CPG companies implement AI/ML-led decision-making ecosystems to advance their revenue growth management (RGM) capabilities. Utilizing advanced analytics to capture visibility of all investment decisions and performances across all commercial growth levers, including pricing, promotions, assortment, etc., is key in navigating through disruptions and achieving sustainable growth.

Review leading industry software that trusted global analysts highlight 

The Promotion Optimization Institute (POI) offers leading resources for executives in all global CPG companies. They evaluate leading software vendors from 16 different functional areas annually across the industry, including RGM.

POI understands the need for a transformative digital shift, and they’ve assessed RGM software vendors and evaluated different tools and capabilities to help CPG companies manage their enterprise planning and decision-making performance to drive profitable growth.
