Through years of consultation with foodservice manufacturers, Answers Systems has identified several key issues in trade spending norms:

• One in every four trade promotion claims received is in error of the original agreement.
• Errors caught through proper verification will improve your ROI savings >15%.
• A manufacturer's “soft-cost” (administrative) is generally >3% of trade spending and can be reduced or eliminated.
• The sales force spends about 30% of time in foodservice trade promotion management.
• Manufacturers have limited visibility to performance of trade promotion deals.
• Trade spend represents a huge opportunity for reinvestment.

Join other brand-leading manufacturers and transform your foodservice trade promotion management into a trade performance strategy with the ContractPro solution and Answers Systems.
