Revenue growth management is a strategic lever for enhanced visibility across the value chain of the consumer packaged goods business. It boosts strategic product assortment, promotions planning, and bottomline impact – key insights from experts at the Consumer Goods Technology webinar hosted by Infosys Equinox.
Revenue growth management has become a priority because it demands visibility across product sales, marketing, promotion and pricing.
Advanced data analytics optimizes revenue growth management to drive accurate commercial decisions across pricing, product portfolio and mix, and sales promotions.
Rising input costs and inflation compel CPG enterprises to develop innovative pricing and product assortment strategies such as low unit packs, which demand strategic revenue growth management.
In the long term, revenue growth management drives sustainable profitable growth. In the short term, it guides tactical decisions on near-term pricing and revenue targets, and product assortment in terms of upsizing and downsizing product packs.
Digital technology harnesses and harmonizes data for meaningful business insights, leverages econometric models that incorporate advanced algorithms for strategic pricing, and provides a unified user experience for sales and operations teams to make timely business decisions.
Revenue growth management should offer insights across the ecosystem (products, suppliers, and customers) to protect profit margins, increase market share in an inflationary environment, and enable accurate revenue forecasting.
