Vividly

Pros: - Provides robust customer support, assisting users with any questions or issues they might encounter while using the platform. - The Vividly portal is designed with an intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface, making it accessible for users.

Cons: I don't have cons at the moment. My experience has been good.

Pros: The ease of the product... but more importantly the team at Vividly is amazing!

Cons: That I didn't have a product like Vividly in my past. It sure would have saved a lot of time and resources.

Pros: Functionally the deduction matcher and promotion validation aspects are extremely useful and make otherwise time consuming and cumbersome deductions quick and easy to complete. The team at Cresicor will even take request to make the matcher compatible with different customers backup formatting. The customer service turnaround time is also excellent! They always seem friendly and make sure any issues are fully resolved.

Cons: The software has built in permissions that prevent people from accidently canceling planned promotions. My only recommendation would be to extend this to the saved attachments page as the download and delete buttons are right next to each other.

Pros: The software is very user friendly and easy to update regularly. It gives great visibility to the planned promos and makes the process of managing plan to actual easy so focus of management is on driving business.

Cons: Nothing immediately comes to mind. This software is very user friendly. Any challenges I had when learning this software were quickly addressed and made my job much easier.

Pros: User interface is very intuitive promotion analytics is well defined Deduction matching is unique

Cons: Instead of using name based fields, numeric references should be standardized for customers, products, users, etc. Any field that is in the data base should be able to be linked throughout and tie back to a client's ERP. Products should be set up in a hierarchy going from top down and begin with the company Similar should be done for customers to recognize both direct & indirect ship tos, as well as total master customer Better hierarchy mapping should be implemented to link customers, agencies and channels together

Pros: The accrual function within Cresicor has been a huge help for our team. From tracking outstanding liabilities to post-event analysis, Cresicor has helped us both speed up our month-end accrual process and more accurately forecast for upcoming promotional events.

Cons: Creiscor does not integrate directly with Netsuite, which we knew before we choose to move forward with the system. But this would be a great additional in the long-run.

Pros: The deductions scanner has been incredibly easy to use! Prior to using this, we were going through hundreds of PDF pages and manually recording all of the details. We have been able to save hours of work each week since using the deductions scanner and we couldn't be happier!

Cons: There is nothing that we do not like about this software! We have had zero issues, it's easy to use, and it has saved us time and money over the past year.

Pros: My favorite and most-used feature is the converter that takes KeHE MCB deductions from PDFs and turns them into spreadsheets. It's easy to use, downloads the files quickly, and allows us to break out the deductions by customer and product much faster than before.

Cons: I have not had any issues using the software.

Pros: What I like most about this software is the deduction matcher which saves an enormous amount of time and removes the guess work of ensuring promotions take on products are valid.

Cons: Integration into using this software as opposed to not using any at all was a bit of a learning curve. The upside of which was a new and much better understanding of promotions, how they work and how to keep track of all of them. This ultimately enables me to be better at my job.

Pros: This product is very helpful at categorizing promotional calendars to get the team out of excel and into a software that can connect to your financial software.

Cons: It is pricy for a smaller company, but should pay dividends in the long-term.

Pros: Cresicor is a very useful tool to support our retailers abroad. The platform is very concise and works great for the intent.

Cons: The platform is easy to use and I don't have any suggestions at this point.

Pros: Cresicor is the most user friendly TPM. It is also the only viable solution for distributor-based businesses. Customer service is great.

Cons: It does not fully talk to other systems, and require import/export of data files from your ERP and syndicated data provider.

Pros: The overall ease of use of Cresicor cannot be overstated. The ability to contain trade spend info for all accounts in one location is ideal. And the analytics to track trade spend percentage, performance, etc are excellent tools for determining future promo plans.

Cons: Entry of information into the software can be tedious. Cresicor has done a great job of adding helpful features, like advanced duplication. But initial entries still require the legwork of inputting basic info.

Pros: Advance duplication is my favorite of the many useful features. Each customer to plan trade for can have dozens of entries and this feature allows the user to save significant time by automatically duplicating an entry for a desired period of time. Love it

Cons: One con I've found is that once you move past the "basic info" page you no longer have visibility into the title of the promotion. I'd like to see what I've titled the promotion on each page of editing to ensure I have dates and product lines correct.
