Wake Up From Your Excel Nightmare

Trade Promotion Management That Actually Works

The TPM Spreadsheet Horror Story

It could happen to anyone. One day, you're starting a fledgling CPG company, bravely innovating and scaling by the skin of your teeth. You innocently jot down some sales stats into an Excel spreadsheet… not knowing the terrors to come.

Before you know it, your business has blown up - but so has that TPM spreadsheet. It's a voracious monster, devouring your time and spitting out nothing of use. No real-time analytics, no trade forecasting, just error messages and the horror house of another Friday spent manually reviewing PDFs.

When CPG companies grow, they outgrow their old systems.

A trade promotion management system like Vividly is a crucial tool for every company looking to outpace their competitors and continue to scale in a fast-changing marketplace.

Still Trapped in Excel Hell?

Here's why you need to escape:

Your business is growing, your client list is booming...but your deduction management process is out of control. It's eating up your team's time, and you're losing money in undisputed claims. It can take an accountant up to 60% of their day 😱 just to find the documentation they need. Your sharpest analysts are wasting their time on busy work instead of crafting strategy.

80% of brands fail while promoting at the shelf. Earning a shelf placement is a huge milestone for a CPG brand, but many companies are slapped with a surprise financial hit. It's not because of a lack of hard work — it boils down to not having the centralized data and clear analytics you need to accurately plan trade.

You're up to your elbows in the day-to-day requirements of scaling your business, hustling to cultivate new trade relationships while keeping your team agile. Trying to balance all of your current trade while effectively forecasting future trade? That feels impossible.

Crunching numbers manually, cell by cell. Critical insights remain buried in your data, and your team spends more time fighting with Excel than making strategic decisions.

I’ve been a customer of Vividly’s for 2 years and the ability to quickly onboard, especially surrounding new deployments, has allowed our business to make smarter, quicker business decisions. Vividly is an agile team that releases new products tailored to what we need. They speak the same language that we do. We’re a fast-moving food brand with a lean team. It’s imperative to have software that easily immerses itself into our day-to-day operations while providing a dashboard that showcases the performance of our top retailers. I’ve vetted other trade software in the space that doesn’t come close to the machine-learning capabilities that Vividly has. Their customer support is outstanding, I have no issues getting some time with the ondemand chat or my own personal customer success manager.
