Trade Promotion Optimization

Turn messy trade data into prescriptive promo decisions

Judo ingests your trade files, builds a governed event-week source of truth, and surfaces reallocation opportunities — running in your cloud, from HQ to the shelf.

Judo Trade Optimization — promo opportunities

The trade spend problem

CPG manufacturers invest heavily in trade — but most cannot tell which promos destroy margin or how to reallocate spend fast enough.

$500B+

Annual global trade spend

The #2 P&L line after COGS for most CPG manufacturers.

55–72%

Promos that fail to break even

Most teams cannot identify which events destroy margin.

Weeks

Not years to a governed SoT

Productized ingestion replaces months of consultant-led data prep.

Two layers. One platform.

Land with governed data. Expand with prescriptive optimization. Execute on the Judo platform your teams already run.

Layer 1 — Ingest & Govern

Upload distributor files and spreadsheets. AI-assisted mapping plus steward confirmation writes canonical promo event-week records with full lineage.

  • Observable upload → map → confirm pipeline
  • Quarantine bad rows — no silent imputation
  • Lineage-traced source of truth in days
