Retail Trade Promotion Optimization

Celebal Technologies’ Retail Trade Promotion Optimization Solution is a 360-degree platform that empowers enterprises to maximize promotional effectiveness through AI-driven insights, advanced demand forecasting, and personalized recommendation engines. By aligning promotions with dealer behaviour, seasonal trends, and enterprise objectives, it addresses challenges such as ineffective strategies, suboptimal budget allocation, fragmented cross-channel planning, and lack of visibility into impact. The solution ingests data from Warehouse Management Systems, Pricing & Promotion Platforms, CRM, POS, distributor and retailer feeds, e-commerce platforms, SAP ERP, Excel files, and centralized Data Lakes to build a unified view. Insights are delivered through interactive dashboards such as Forecast vs. Actual Sales Uplift, Promotion Spend Efficiency, and Uplift in Sales Volume, enhanced by a GenAI-powered Q&A bot that enables intuitive natural language queries for faster decision-making.

The solution packaging is structured into two interconnected components—Analytics and Predictive. The Analytics component focuses on retrospective analysis, providing clarity on promotional efficiency and actual outcomes, while the Predictive component, powered by Azure ML Studio, delivers forward-looking recommendations. These include pricing optimization for static and dynamic models and personalized promotions that target specific customer segments. By combining comprehensive data integration with machine learning capabilities, enterprises can improve promotional ROI, optimize spending, increase sales uplift, and strengthen dealer performance—resulting in measurable profitability and long-term growth.
