Current challenges for consumer goods companies

Our clients face a universal challenge in creating value through data & analytics at scale​:

83%

of executives say they won’t achieve their growth objectives without scaling Data & Analytics.

74%

of executives acknowledge they know how to pilot, but struggle to scale Data & Analytics across the business.

47%

What we focus on

To enable Consumer Goods firms to generate value and growth, we have a successful track of records of:​

Identify and capture value from the large ongoing digital transformations

Bringing science to art to enable data-driven decision making.

Accelerating growth through D&A: co-creating the new generation of growth analytics.

Client cases

Define data-driven strategy

We defined the new PPA strategy and embed data & analytics to step-up maturity.

It reduced the process from 9 months to a couple of days, identified USD $150+ Million in revenue for only one category, and enabled real-time, data-driven decision making to improve PPA strategy.

Realize value from analytics

We had an E2E Trade Promotion Management Process review and conducted gap identification.

 

It led to detailed E2E To Be Processes (L1 - L3), a design of a KAM CoE, and several focus areas such as SKU Management, Pricing, Payments, and Accruals, and User Experience & Enhancements.

Develop data foundation for analytics

We got brought in when analytics use cases were failing to scale up due to data foundation. Data factory was needed for scaling use cases.

 

300+ internal and external data sources were harmonized, accomplished 150+ reusable data-assets in the first year, and Net Sales Value increased by USD $50 million through optimization of cross-border pricing.
