Let’s get serious about revenue growth management

Revenue growth management (RGM) is a key process in the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry. Strategy and structure may differ per organisation, in general revenue growth management processes centre around:

Trade promotions
Trade investments
Pricing strategy
Commercial planning
Assortment and price/pack architecture

Depending on the company’s long term strategy, CPG’s put emphasis on one or more of these pillars. As delivery of net sales and profit is a top priority, many companies focus on revenue forecasting and optimisation. This is the process of creating revenue forecasts and efficiently manage and optimise trade promotions, pricing and investments.

Today’s global CPG leaders are learning that disconnected systems and spreadsheets are inefficient, ineffective, and simply don’t deliver results.

At Visualfabriq, we have the answer. To drive revenue forecasting and optimisation, innovative software is needed. Revenue management software unlocks actionable data insights, integrates multiple data sources and streamlines the end-to-end processes. All from one platform.

Let’s take a closer look at revenue management solutions

CPG companies today operate in a highly demanding environment that requires complex revenue growth management in the face of increasing challenges:

Inflation forces many companies to increase prices towards retailers, putting strain on retailer negotiations.
Consumers are facing price increases in every aspect of their lives resulting in constant value seeking and less expendable income. This drives changes in consumer behaviour and thus demand.
New CPG start-ups enter the market place every day, endangering market share.

Today’s challenges are multifaceted. The competition for market share is fierce. Marginal pressure drives a strong need for high quality insights and analytics to improve performance.

At the same time, CPG’s have more data available to them than ever. They are challenged to unlock insights that help respond to the current market. A platform like Visualfabriq’s built with the purpose to integrate all data on and delivered to the platform answers this need. It delivers the actionable insights required to win today and prepare for the future.

Embrace revenue forecasting and optimisation. CPG’s should incorporate predictive analytics for improved ROI, increased cost efficiency and more accurate revenue management. Analyse past performance, and project the impact of decisions for the future.

Stop thinking in silos, start thinking holistically.

Better address the demands of today’s market. Companies need an integrated, holistic approach for better internal alignment between departments. Yet, over 80 percent of organizations still use spreadsheets to support the revenue forecasting and optimisation. Companies looking for competitive advantage and greater business impact need a fully integrated revenue management tool.

At Visualfabriq, our software was built to fully integrate all available capabilities:

Creation of a bottom-up commercial plan, automatically created from all data available on the platform.

Still using spreadsheets for revenue forecasting and optimisation? This often drives a process broken down into functional silos. Teams such as sales, marketing and finance are working from different data sources. If manual adjustments are common practice, organisations are missing out on intelligent, actionable data that improve delivery of top and bottom line.

Leave meetings with actionable insights.

Organizations using a revenue growth management solution have the tools to move from conversations about “what do these numbers mean” to prescriptive, pro-active analytics that allow them to justify business decisions. Today’s rapidly changing markets require CPG organizations to increase their overall agility. Thus they can respond quickly to fluctuating demands.

This requires revenue growth software that unlocks all available data - including internal and 3rd party data sources. Infinite scalability is a prerequisite: data today is increasing at an incredible pace. To be able to unlock the power of company data, data quality is key.

In the rapidly changing environment of CPG, agility is key. To be able to both think and move quickly, CPG companies need to understand their business. Insight in context enables them to make intelligent decisions. Data is a key requirement.
