Control Pricing and Promotions in Fast-Moving Markets

Enterprise software designed to govern pricing, trade promotions, customer incentives, and profitability for consumer goods and CPG companies operating across highly competitive, promotion-driven channels.

Consumer Goods & CPG
The Challenge

Trade spend is your largest uncontrolled cost

Consumer goods and CPG firms face intense competition, frequent promotions, and constant margin pressure. Trade promotions and rebates represent major, often uncontrolled spend categories. Without centralized systems, consistent execution and profitability visibility remain out of reach.

Frequently asked questions

How does IMA360 help control trade promotion spend?

IMA360 provides end-to-end trade promotion management — from budget allocation and planning through execution tracking and post-event analysis. The platform enforces spending limits, approval workflows, and performance tracking so organizations can measure promotion ROI and reduce overspend.

How does IMA360 measure promotion effectiveness?

IMA360 tracks promotion performance in real time — comparing planned vs. actual spend, measuring incremental volume and revenue lift, and calculating cost-per-incremental-unit for each promotion. Post-event analytics help teams identify which promotions drive real results.

Does IMA360 integrate with our retail and distributor data?

Yes. IMA360 integrates with POS data, distributor sales-out data, and syndicated data sources to provide accurate tracking of promotion execution and customer purchasing patterns. This data feeds directly into promotion analytics and rebate calculations.
