Plan, execute, optimize

Intelligent planning and execution integrates two multicloud platforms of intelligence, such as Anaplan for planning, and an execution platform for retail execution, such as SF CPG Cloud, to provide one integrated solution that helps a trade planner monitor both the execution of the plan and also its efficacy in almost real-time, thereby giving the flexibility to further tweak and optimize the plan with minimum lag, ensuring minimum transmission loss and maximum ROI. Our solution can work with any existing retail execution platform hence, can be either a greenfield or a brownfield implementation.
