Pricing & Trade Terms Optimisation

What's the challenge?

Most consumer goods companies are grappling with a spaghetti of inherited pricing and trade terms agreements that can feel like a can of worms to tackle and have often not been reviewed for many years. Without a clear, consistent structure to pricing, consumer goods companies risk causing confusion over new product pricing and losing money through ineffective pricing and unconditional trade terms.

At Acumen, we work with consumer goods brands to realign their pricing and investment structures to reduce pricing risk and improve ROI on investment with retail customers.
