Plan for Success

Effective Go-to-Market Meetings Are Critical to Product Success

Go-to-market meetings are essential for presenting the product offer to all sales and field teams so they can understand line plans, give input and, in turn, sell. The lengthy and tedious process of preparing product designs, colors, materials, product features, pricing and other product details for presentation at go-to-market meetings is long, laborious and centered around limited displays of physical prototypes. It is impossible to pivot information to view it from different perspectives, what-if and track changes in real time. Meeting outputs are noted by hand and can be difficult or impossible to execute.

Optimize Assortments with Truly Collaborative Planning with the Centric Visual Assortment Board:

  • Connect financial, merchandising, collection and product data from multiple systems
  • Access internal, external and co-developed designs, product details, 2D/3D imagery and media
  • Create and associate products, data, materials, colors and images to placeholders easily with drag and drop
  • Present assortments and make bidirectional system updates live during go-to market meetings
  • Analyze assortments in real time to ensure the achievement of KPI’s and targets
  • Drive dynamic roll-up reporting and interactive PDF Line Sheets
