Listing Management

Manage your listing and track it accurately

The solution has been designed to perfectly meet the needs of product listing: management of targets (by retailer or by channel), agreements and landings. As category managers, you can manage your ranges and assortments with greater ease and agility. You will work on a collaborative platform that gives all internal stakeholders access to data, updated in real time.

You will benefit from the tracking of merchandise deliveries to your accounts warehouses, thanks to information feedback from your customer's ERP system.

You can set your own reporting parameters. Follow your merchandise in real-time at retailer and/or channel levels, run product segment analyses as well as ND and/or WD correspondence, listing evolutions and projection on the basis of future agreements, compare your targets with what your field teams or panelists see in the field, and much more.
