A host of upgraded features, including better reporting, on-screen data, cloning, and a far superior interactive planning calendar, are optimized to generate faster results. "CPG companies who utilize the Lightning version of Trade Planner ill be able to manage the entire lifecycle of a promotion in less time and with less effort," says Rick Pensa, CEO of CPGToolBox. "Planning trade events, forecasting volume, clearing deductions - it's all easier, quicker, and smarter. CPGs can generate actionable insights faster than ever, so more time can be spent driving collaboration with retailers, assessing promotional outcomes, and reducing overall trade spending rates." As the fast-paced CPG industry continues adjusting to e-commerce and shrinking shelf space, improving the speed of information to remain competitive has become a priority. A Forrester Research study commissioned by Salesforce.com recently quantified the time-saving benefits that come with Lightning, the newest version of Salesforce.com. The findings revealed that an organization deploying Lightning-ready software, such as CPGToolBox Trade Planner, increased productivity by up to 25 percent and saved more than an hour a week in productivity over three years. "The fact that CPGToolBox Trade Planner is built on the Salesforce.com Lightning platform means we can pass all the proven productivity enhancements directly to CPG companies and help them take trade management to the next level," says Pensa.
