Growzz
Growzz enables consumer goods companies (CPGs) and retailers to collaborate digitally on Joint Business Plans (JBPs). A great JBP process is customer centric, collaborative, and builds the trust required to grow profitably together. JBPs can be defined as anything upwards from simple agreements on investments and terms, to broader Trading Plans, full Annual Plans, and in a more sophisticated relationship ideally all of these aligned to a multi-year Joint Strategy. Do your people know what a great JBP looks like and how to build one? Do they have consistent high-quality agreements in place? How many versions of the truth exist in PowerPoint, Excel, email, operational systems, and people’s heads? Which growth opportunities have they missed? What risks are they exposing your business to? Do you lose institutional memory when people move on? Growzz is the industry standard platform to build and agree the JBP. Industry standards drive quality, consistency, efficiency, common understanding, collaboration, accountability and trust in business relationships. Whilst it runs on uploaded master data, there is no need to integrate Growzz with internal systems.
