Save Time Building More Compelling Sell-In Presentations with DemandTec and Interactive Edge

• Access a library of analytical templates for rapid presentation building
• Save time with one-click presentation refresh capabilities

Building an optimized trade plan is only half the battle in achieving a successful sell-in meeting with your retail customer. The critical final step of moving the trade plan data, and any subsequent updates, into a presentation deck cannot be underestimated. For most consumer products manufacturers, the typical process today involves manually transferring data from the promotion planning environment into standard presentation software. As scenarios evolve and are updated in the planning environment, this process repeats itself many times over, wasting valuable time and leading to potential errors.

DemandTec and Interactive Edge have partnered to offer DemandTec customers a more effective and scalable solution for building and updating data-driven presentations. Leveraging Interactive Edge’s XP3 Presentation Builder with DemandTec software services addresses the critical last mile of ensuring sell-in success. With the combined capabilities of DemandTec and Interactive Edge, sales teams now have access to the best of both worlds – optimized trade plans from DemandTec connected to a powerful presentation development tool through Interactive Edge.

Leverage DemandTec Data in Customer-Facing Sell-In Presentations

To make the most of your promotion planning data, Interactive Edge’s XP3 Presentation Builder imports promotion and deal scenarios directly from DemandTec. From the XP3 Presentation Builder environment, business users can map DemandTec data directly into standard presentation software. The tool is used to define charts, graphs, and “intelligent text” objects that are embedded into the presentation, and are mapped directly to DemandTec promotion and deal data. The net result is the rapid development of highimpact customer presentations reflecting the latest trade promotion planning scenarios.

Library of Analytical Templates for Rapid Presentation Building

Interactive Edge’s XP3 Turbo Templates are an extensive library of pre-formatted charts, tables and text that can be dynamically populated with DemandTec pricing and promotion data. The XP3 Turbo Templates have been pre-configured to quickly address specific business issues and reflect best practices for consumer products manufacturers and retailers. All XP3 Turbo Templates are maintained in a slide library and are easily accessible by searching through a custom interactive tagging system. The slide library helps direct users to the right slide faster, with the ability to search based on chart type or business focus.

Save Time with One-Click Presentation Refresh Capabilities

As business scenarios evolve in the DemandTec planning environment, updated data must eventually be reflected in the customer sell-in presentation. Interactive Edge makes this tough step easy by pulling data directly from DemandTec. The direct data feed can be established either as a live, “always-on” connection, or limited to a custom data slice to support offline manipulation. Business users may choose to refresh defined presentation objects to reflect the latest planning data with the click of a button.
