Retail Solutions Inc., the leading solution provider helping consumer product goods (CPG) companies create value with retailer data, formed when T3Ci acquired the VeriSign RDS business unit, today announced that The J.M. Smucker Company has chosen Retail Solutions Promotion Execution to complement other Retail Solutions applications it uses, RFID Analytics and On-Shelf Management.
"Better promotion execution is one of the many ways EPC can transform our organization," said Rich Wilson, Director, Corporate Distribution and EPC Team Lead at The J.M. Smucker Company.
"Our goal is to continuously explore how to expand the business case for Smucker's EPC implementation across multiple processes - from supply chain analytics to out-of-stocks and to
promotions. The roll-out of the Promotion Execution Solution from Retail Solutions furthers this goal."
"We are very honored to work with The J.M. Smucker Company," said Dr. Jonathan Golovin, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Retail Solutions. "At Retail Solutions, we have a long
tradition of establishing deep research partnerships with industry thought leaders to bring true innovation to the CPG industry. The J.M. Smucker Company team, with its EPC leadership,
has provided us with many insights and challenges to improve our solutions."
Retail Solutions Promotion Execution helps CPG companies boost promotional lift by improving store execution, reducing out-of-stocks and maximizing the efficiency of merchandisers and
brokers. By combining EPC and non-EPC information in a unique dashboard, CPG companies are able to better understand how to make each promotion more successful, both before the event and
in real-time during its execution. With over 300 EPC events tracked and analyzed across 20 customers and more than 50 new promotions every month in 2008, Retail Solutions is the
uncontested leader in that space.
