Promotions That Move the Needle
DemandTec Promotions brings together AI-driven forecasting, trade fund alignment, and execution workflows to help merchandising teams design promotions that perform, reduce risk before committing, and deliver measurable results.
Retail promotion intelligence built to plan, forecast, execute, and measure promotions with confidence.
Retail promotions are one of the most powerful growth levers and one of the most complex to execute. Teams must balance speed, funding, margin, and execution accuracy while coordinating across merchandising, marketing, finance, and suppliers. Without an integrated approach, promotions become fragmented, reactive, and difficult to measure.
