Genpak Implements FORGE Trade Solutions
April 1, 2008
Glens Falls, NY [April 1, 2008] Genpak has successfully implemented Blacksmith's FORGE Trade solutions to realize trade promotion management process improvements. The initiative allows Genpak to take advantage of the industry's leading trade management solutions, with benefits including:
- Greater visibility to the economic impacts of each proposed expense, enabling a more strategic process deeper in the organization with increased awareness of key profit metrics.
- Enhancements in the areas of routing, communication and notification that have reduced ineffective time spent 'tracking down where things stand', freeing resources to focus on more value-added activities.
- Deployment of standard 'deal sheets'; the process now provides for consistent presentation of incentive offers with clarity of the terms and conditions.
