Revenue Growth Management or RGM is one of the most important value creation levers for many companies. This is because building an accurate data picture of the market to understand to ROI on commercial or marketing investments is highly complex. Currently, most companies purchase standalone software to focus on just one growth lever at a time such as pricing. However, they require insights from other growth levers often obtained from other software such as promotions, to understand the best time and length to promote a product.

Assortment, to identify the best product range, to meet consumer demand for every store location. Or even new product innovation to identify products that are lacking in the market that could boost a company's brand value and competitiveness. The downside of this approach is that these tools are often disconnected from each other and the wider business. Individuals in the business must jump between systems to manually build a complete picture of how to invest across the different growth levers that is available to them.

It is time consuming for users, expensive to maintain technology, and difficult to upgrade this type of siloed capability. These growth levers and others will affect each other. For example, a strategy to change the price of a product will help product volume growth, or decline. However, marketing strategies can also have a similar impact affecting the overall profitability and revenue for the company.
