Gartner releases “Market Guide for TPM and Optimization"

February 2017. Edited by Dimitrios Zygolanis

 

Gartner has just released their February 2017 Market Guide for Trade Promotion Management and Optimization for the Consumer Goods Industry and Effectmakers are mentioned in the report for the first time.

  

The report gives a snapshot of what's going on right now in the Trade Promotion Management software industry.



Quote from the report: The quality and capabilities of today's TPx solutions are at a level that there is really no reason for consumer goods manufacturers to either work from spreadsheets or build their own solutions. 

  

Quote from the report: Strongly consider a TPx solution if your organization does not have one already. With the plethora of affordable solutions, spreadsheets cannot compete with the functionality and flexibility of a TPx solution.
