When you put your planning data into a system, it's quicker, more organized, and more easily inputted than a spreadsheet – but, more important than all of that, it is broadly visible to the various departments within the organization that need that information.

75% of CPG manufacturers still track their trade promotion activity on spreadsheets.
If you're a CFO and you're watching that, you probably have a great deal of nervousness. You might have two or three hundred million dollars in the fields tracked on a spreadsheet, and the possibility of error is significant.
However, new technology offers better solutions to these old problems. This episode will show you how to leverage the power of cloud processing to speed up, simplify, and optimize target management.
