What is C-Smart?

Gain a thorough understanding of the financial repercussions associated with trade promotions and identify methods for more efficient resource allocation. For leading consumer goods companies, managing trade promotions often constitutes the second largest expenditure, typically exceeding 15% of total revenue. Unfortunately, many organizations struggle to effectively measure the return on investment for these promotional efforts. Cognizant provides tailored solutions to tackle this challenge. To accurately model effectiveness, it is crucial to analyze data from multiple sources, such as point-of-sale systems, syndicated data providers, and internal sales, marketing, and operational information. Our consulting services in trade promotions management (TPM) and trade promotions optimization (TPO), along with our expertise in process re-engineering and solution selection, empower you to systematically evaluate ROI, which leads to more informed decisions in the future. Moreover, Cognizant has introduced C-Smart, an innovative analytics tool crafted for brand management and category management teams in consumer goods companies, providing actionable insights into various factors, including the effectiveness of new product launches, brand positioning within different categories, promotional success, and competitive analysis. Utilizing these insights not only enhances strategic planning but also propels companies toward achieving more profitable results. Ultimately, embracing a data-driven approach can significantly transform how organizations manage their trade promotions and optimize their financial performance.
