3 For many business executives in the emerging markets, growing sales and new consumers is a top priority. However, most heads of the emerging markets realize that nearly 90% of sales is driven by a complex distribution network comprising thousands of distributors and millions of retailers. They do not have complete visibility into sales, inventory and orders across the distribution chain. They are also unable to quickly on-board distributors and cost-effectively reach small retailers. This impacts their ability to sense and respond to the emerging market needs. What they need is a solution that provides insights - from distributors to consumers - across the distribution chain, and accelerates growth.
