Picture this: You’ve just decided on a new category solution for your brand, one that will simplify the customer shopping experience at big box retailers and independent dealers. Congratulations! Now for your reality check:
Planograms vary across the country
Hundreds of display product pieces are required
Limited forecasting is available
Certain materials have long lead times
Warehousing capabilities are limited
The ordering process is dated
Multiple billing scenarios are required, AND
Your resources for managing this program internally are limited
If you’re the person who’s been designated to execute this program, a feeling of impending chaos would not be surprising.
The good news is, Niven knows how to navigate from chaos to calm. With more than 40 years of experience in complex program management, our expert Client Services team can guide you through all the variables and unknowns, getting your program to the point where things are calm and under control.
First, our team works to become an extension of your team:
We dedicate a Client Services Manager to guide you through the process
We identify the challenges and craft an execution plan
We collaborate with internal and external parties to streamline implementation and expectations
We plan for the unexpected and provide timely solutions that work
Of course, we also enhance and improve our processes with each new program. And over time, we’ve crafted and honed our tools, which include:
Online ordering/tracking capabilities
A proprietary web platform to manage additional program services (installations, service, reporting, inventory)
Inventory controls and reporting
State-of-the-art software to help things work efficiently, both internally and externally
