The Challenge
Trade promotion spend was tracked but rarely optimized, with significant variance in ROI across customers, SKUs, and event types.
- 1Promotional ROI tracking lagging events by 6–8 weeks
- 2Pricing decisions made on intuition rather than elasticity data
- 3No what-if analysis tooling for KAMs
Our Solution
CloudGate built a pricing and trade promotion optimization platform combining elasticity models with KAM-facing what-if tools.
- Price elasticity models by SKU-channel-customer
- Promotion ROI prediction and post-event analysis
- KAM copilot for joint business planning
