Consumer Goods Industry
Accelerating Profitability in the Consumer Goods Industry
The marketplace for consumer products is more competitive than ever.  Retailers and other channel customers continue to increase pressure for additional promotional spending, reduced pricing control, new compliance requirements and higher levels of customer service. 

Kineticsware for Consumer Goods helps consumer products manufacturers and distributors face the challenge and become more profitable. Our solutions are focused on improving operational efficiency, enabling scalable growth and improving responsiveness across your sales channels.  Including:

Trade Promotion Management- Manage the entire lifecycle of budgeting, planning, execution and analysis of trade promotions.  Effectively plan trade promotions, accurately monitor trade funds and promotional dollars and measure the impact on sales.  End the cycle of repeating the same unprofitable promotions over and over again.

Sales and Operations Planning- Enable a best-in-class S&OP process.  Establish an integrated view of demand, supply, inventory and capacity.  Create production and procurement plans that are tested and feasible.  Make shared decisions confidently together, understanding the impact of tradeoffs and the ability to execute.

Inbound Logistics Management- Gain visibility to your inbound supply chain, including manifest level Advanced Shipment Notifications (ASNs) and container tracking.  Track the full lifecycle of sourced items from purchase to receipt.  Maximize container fill rates, improve transportation spend and capture the true landed costs of your products.

Fulfillment & Warehouse Management- Ensure accurate order fulfillment and deliveries.  Streamline the flow of goods, optimize your labor resources and provide customers with the best service possible.  Kineticsware provides you with end-to-end support for warehouse management, slotting optimization, labor management, kitting, transportation management, trading partner management, reverse logistics, RFID and value added services in the warehouse.

Deduction Management- Accurately reconcile chargebacks and deductions from retailers that distribute your products.  Reduce lost revenue and receivables write-offs through a streamlined, managed reconciliation process.  Track reason codes to improve processes and avoid future deductions related to error.
