Your promotional software should come from the CPG industry.
That’s us.
Back when CEO Paul Wietecha started in the CPG industry, contracts were kept in hanging files and claims were manually validated. Double dipping and revenue loss were common, but CPG manufacturers didn’t even have the data to know what was lost or where.
The catalyst behind Blacksmith has always been to find a better way to help companies spend money.
We treat customers and team members like family and encourage everyone to dream about what’s next. Blacksmith was founded on the belief that there is a better way.
Everything we do is rooted in an unfailing commitment to serve as more than a software provider.
