Complexica Pty Ltd, a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence software for supply & demand optimisation, announced today that following an international market assessment to understand best-in-class capability across both Trade Promotion Management ("TPM") and Trade Promotion Optimisation ("TPO") software vendors, Kellogg's Australia has partnered with Complexica for end-to-end TPM and TPO software. The project scoping connected with the TPM and TPO software commenced last month with the scoping of Complexica’s Promotional Campaign Manager (“PCM”) – which is a module of the Decision Cloud® artificial intelligence platform - across all Kellogg’s Australia channels and customer groups across Australia and New Zealand.

Speaking at a recent investor day for Metcash, ALM CEO Chris Baddock has outlined a transformation of its digital business as one of four key initiatives. The other three initiatives include driving brand awareness and appeal, owned and exclusive brands and supply chain flexibility and efficiency. He added: “It’s no good having great systems if you don’t have great data, so we have to clean our data and make sure there is a conduit between the retailer and ourselves, so that we can use that data to give the most effective and efficient promotional programs.”

ALM has already started working with Complexica to use artificial intelligence to develop promotional plans and also to help predict marketplace performance.

Bringing merchandising, loyalty and marketing strategies and insights ever-closer together to improve customer service is the name of the game for West Australia’s Liquor Barons liquor retailer as it brings on a fresh promotional planning platform. Liquor Barons is a WA-only retail co-operative with 80 liquor stores split into two brands: Liquor Barons (64 branded stores); and Bucks Off. The business has signed an agreement with Complexica for its Promotional Campaign Manager (PCM) product to help automate and streamline promotional planning and supplier portal functionality. Project scoping commences in January through to March and the intention is to go live with the platform from mid-2021.

Complexica Pty Ltd, a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence software for supply & demand optimisation, announced today that Liquor Barons in WA has selected Complexica's Promotional Campaign Manager (PCM) as its product of choice for promotional planning and supplier portal functionality. The project will begin with a scoping and specification phase in early January.
