Top 3 use cases in CPG
1
Discover the hidden drivers of category demand
Prevedere identifies the most influential economic and consumer behaviors in each category — and their lead times. By combining this with data on internal promotion, product innovation, and merchandising activities, brand teams can gain deeper insight on past sales wins and misses.
2
Validate category growth plans with retailers
CPG companies, especially category captains, use Prevedere — along with syndicated data from Nielsen — to generate retailer-specific long-term demand forecasts. These incorporate the most predictive leading indicators. These models are constantly monitored and updated as economic and consumer activity change.
3
Maximize trade promotion effectiveness
Most CPG manufacturers lose 33% of the money they invest in trade promotions. Prevedere helps improve trade-promotion effectiveness by understanding future demand for each consumer segment, category, retailer, and region. This allows for more accurate spending in months and regions that need it most.
