Effective Trade Promotion Management Doesn’t Have To Be Complex

CPG industry outsiders look into our world and see complexity, and their software reflects that misunderstanding. Sure, there are a lot of data points, but in the end CPG software users have four main goals:

  • Organize and manage contracts and promotions
  • Track and validate claims
  • Monitor and manage deductions
  • Analyze and improve trade investment ROI

Every Blacksmith TPM Feature Is Built With Your Goals In Mind

The functionality is informed by customer requests and our decades of industry expertise.
