Promomash Webinar | Trading Spreadsheets for TPM: Is Your Brand Ready?
If you suspect it might be time to make the jump to a proper TPM system but not sure where to start, this webinar is for you. đź‘Š
As your brand continues to grow its distribution in retail, the complexity of managing sales, promotions, deductions, and trade spend can increasingly become more than your current system or spreadsheets can handle. You're probably aware that a modern Trade Promotion Management (TPM) system—or something similar—can help you streamline your operations, giving you greater visibility and control over your business. But is your brand ready to make that move? What is required of your team for such a transition? How quickly can you expect to reap the benefits?
Join us on October 15th for an informative session led by Chris Ambarian, Co-Founder of Promomash, as we answer all these questions and more.
