Complexica Pty Ltd, a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence software for supply & demand optimisation, announced today that following an international market assessment to understand best-in-class capability across both Trade Promotion Management ("TPM") and Trade Promotion Optimisation ("TPO") software vendors, Kellogg's Australia has partnered with Complexica for end-to-end TPM and TPO software. The project scoping connected with the TPM and TPO software commenced last month with the scoping of Complexica’s Promotional Campaign Manager (“PCM”) – which is a module of the Decision Cloud® artificial intelligence platform - across all Kellogg’s Australia channels and customer groups across Australia and New Zealand.

Complexica Pty Ltd, a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence software for supply & demand optimisation, announced today that Arnott’s Group has selected Complexica's Decision Cloud® software platform for trade promotion management (TPM) to be implemented in 2022. This new contract will extend Arnott’s deployment of Complexica’s Promotional Campaign Manager (PCM) for Trade Promotion Optimisation and AI-based demand forecasting, both of which kicked-off earlier this year.

“Arnott’s is one of Australia's largest producers of biscuits and the diversity of our sales channels adds complexity to our operation – particularly in how we forecast and manage our trade spend, with customer sales data that is varied across sell-out, sell-in, and ex-factory,” said Shannon Davidson, Arnott’s Director, Commercial & IBP. "We run different product promotion combinations, promo mechanics, and frequencies across our accounts and channels so it’s not difficult to understand why we turned to Complexica’s best-in-class system for end-to-end Trade Promotion Management and Trade Promotion Optimisation.”

Speaking at a recent investor day for Metcash, ALM CEO Chris Baddock has outlined a transformation of its digital business as one of four key initiatives. The other three initiatives include driving brand awareness and appeal, owned and exclusive brands and supply chain flexibility and efficiency. He added: “It’s no good having great systems if you don’t have great data, so we have to clean our data and make sure there is a conduit between the retailer and ourselves, so that we can use that data to give the most effective and efficient promotional programs.”

ALM has already started working with Complexica to use artificial intelligence to develop promotional plans and also to help predict marketplace performance.

Complexica Pty Ltd, a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence software for supply & demand optimisation, announced today that Arnott’s Group has selected Complexica's Decision Cloud® software platform for trade promotion optimisation – which will include AI-based forecasting capability – to be implemented in 2021. Complexica’s Promotional Campaign Manager (PCM), and Larry, the Digital Analyst® – which are part of the Decision Cloud® software platform – will provide Arnott’s with advanced capabilities for optimising the value of future promotions based on volume, margin, and net price realization, as well as generating what-if scenarios for different price points, promoted package groups, promotional mechanics, frequencies, and other variables and KPI objectives.
