How a meat and charcuterie company improved promotional ROI through promotion optimisation models based on Big Data & AI
Contexto
Context
- A major manufacturer was struggling with persistent challenges: most of their trade promotions were generating negative returns, baseline margins were being eroded by excessive discounting, and decision-making relied heavily on intuition rather than data.
- With hundreds of promotions executed annually across key retail partners, the company needed a systematic approach to optimize their trade spend and restore profitability.
Our approach
Nuestro enfoque
- We developed an AI-powered platform combining predictive analytics with scenario simulation, capable of evaluating past performance while enabling forward-looking simulations.
- By combining historical data with predictive modeling, we created a system that could identify the true drivers of promotional success and failure.
- It also enabled teams to test promotions before execution, understanding not just whether a promotion worked, but why.
Deliverables
Entregables
- Diagnostic Analytics: a detailed assessment of historical promotions, revealing patterns in performance across product categories, retailers, and mechanics
- Simulation Tool: an interactive platform allowing teams to model the financial impact of proposed promotions before execution. The tool provided instant feedback on projected ROI, helping users refine strategies in real time
- Automated Data Integration: a streamlined process for consolidating sales, cost and promotional data into a single system. This eliminated manual reporting delays and ensured decisions were based on the latest available information
