How to improve promotions/LTO’s forecasting accuracy AND a responsive supply plan with predictive and prescriptive analytics.
The number of LTO’s per restaurant chain has nearly doubled over the last nine years to an average of 25 this past year, according to Datassential, market research company. And, for some restaurants, they are easily doing 40+ promotions and LTOs per category. Marketers in the foodservice industry can no longer rely on anecdotal data and gut feel to plan LTOs and promotions.
In order for Supply Chain to support this new level of activity, all teams need to leverage analytics to better prescribe and predict outcomes.
This webinar is designed for both the Marketing and the Supply Chain professional to learn about the newest methods in using data and advanced analytics to help plan the marketing calendar of the future that supports cross functional business objectives. Specifically, you will learn:
• How the data you have access to now can build the bridge between Marketing and Supply Chan
• How predictive analytics can deliver a more accurate forecast; driving guest counts and improving supply chain performance
• How to incorporate additional data sources to your analytics
• How these insights can enhance your planning process and optimize marketing performance
• How the supply chain can become more responsive to support both national and local promotions/LTOs.
Join us for this webinar where you will learn new ways to optimize what, when and how you’re serving your customers.
