Channel Data Management- more than market intelligence

1. Channel Data Management Channel Data Management- more than market intelligence Why Zyme Market intelligence can play an important role in the successful running of your business by providing you with broad research findings, consumer survey results and pricing information. However, it cannot provide you with completely accurate, decision grade channel sales and inventory data which is essential to gain a full understanding of your channels’ overall perfor- mance. Your channel business is at significant risk if you choose to trust the data from market intelligence providers to make decisions on sales, inventory, partner incentive payouts and rebates etc. Such data can be incorrect or incomplete, and there’s also the possibility that it could have been manipulated by one or more players in the channel value chain. Market intelligence data is not real time and so by relying on it for decision making, your company will always be reactive to situations, potentially leaving you behind your competition. • Global directory of nearly 2 million unique channel partners • Exclusive content directories and algorithms to ofer unmatched competitive advantages • Collects data from 150+ countries • Processes 60,000+ feeds per month • 98% accuracy SLA • On-demand analytics – Mobile optimized Implementing a Channel Data Management (CDM) solution like Zyme’s can overcome these risks.
