Operational inefficiency isn’t the ideal state for a business, regardless of economic conditions, unprecedented circumstances, or otherwise. The pressure on CPG and Retail companies to balance inventory, labor, inbound/outbound volume, and evolving regulation management.

Amongst all the noise and challenges, one thing is clear: Legacy planning systems won’t cut it in today’s market.

Reach operational efficiency with cloud CPG software.

“It was probably one of the smoothest implementations I have experienced in terms of go-live… There’s always usually hiccups and things like that. This was very smooth, very well thought out, and we had a lot of confidence from the get-go that [Spaulding Ridge was] going to deliver.”

Foundations for an Advanced CPG/Retail Ecosystem

Supply in the Right Place at the Right Time

Ideally, organizations need to quickly react to market changes—a challenge when manufacturing and shipping can require you to plan six months or more ahead.

Point, legacy, and non-cloud solutions may initially provide out-of-the-box functionality, but strategic shifts eat up time and budget. This lack of flexibility and cost hindrance often results in companies laying a spreadsheet program and a database management system on top of the so-called “solution.”

That doesn’t sound like much of a solution to us.

A technology foundation using cloud CPG and retail software supports your business with predictive data and the ability to shift quickly, anticipating market movements and maximizing profits. Within the universe of cloud technology possibilities, you can have ready-to-go roadmaps for shortages, surpluses, and everything in between—allowing you to react with a tailored strategy to any circumstance.

That’s a Spaulding Ridge solution.

Office Depot is an American office supply company headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. The company has combined annual sales of approximately $11B and employs about 38,000 nationally.

Challenges:
Office Depot’s incentive compensation management processes were slow, error-prone, and lacked visibility, lacking the ability to produce accurate and timely financial forecasts against accruals. They selected Anaplan to have a one stop, automated, scalable and collaborative tool to help streamline the operational processes supporting both compensation management and quota setting.

Project Scope:
Spaulding Ridge helped Office Depot systematize all incentive compensation processes to provide increased cost-savings, accuracy and transparency, & analytics capabilities including forecasting and what-if modeling, with visibility into monthly/quarterly quota attainment.

Results:
With the help of Spaulding Ridge, Office Depot was able to increase compensation alignment with financial accruals, ensure more accurate and timely payouts to sales reps, and greater accuracy, speed, flexibility and transparency of sales team compensation management and tracking.
