Applications and tools for managing trade promotions have never been more important. Over
the last few years, consumer packaged goods companies have spent an average of 20% of their
revenues on trade promotions, and that number continues to grow. This sizable investment in trade
promotions has prompted some companies to shift to more automated technologies. However,
a vast majority of organizations are still using basic spreadsheets and pencil-and-paper to plan,
execute and assess this increasingly vital sales strategy.
Those companies that have attempted to implement trade promotion technologies have
experienced lengthy implementation cycles and high total cost of ownership. Most existing
trade promotion solutions are bulky, complex on-premise installations and lack the flexibility and
accessibility of a cloud-based infrastructure. Data integration is another pain point; almost 80% of
companies lack sufficient data integration and analytics to even begin to figure out if their trade
promotion programs are succeeding or failing.
Kenandy lets you automatically gain instant insight and control by seamlessly integrating trade
promotion management and ERP into one easy-to-use system, built natively on the Salesforce1
Platform. Kenandys all-in-one solution gives you complete visibility across your internal and
