Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud has emerged as a solution to these challenges, providing a comprehensive platform that blends digital and physical platforms to create a personalized buying experience. 

In this blog, we will dive into the latest innovations that Salesforce has introduced to the Salesforce for Consumer Goods industry.

Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud is a set of cloud-based software tools that help retailers and brands run their stores more efficiently and make more money from sales.

The newest features of Salesforce for Consumer Goods are meant to help CPG companies deal with the unique problems they face. These features are meant to lead to profitable growth, better sales automation, higher margins, and more loyal customers.

Trade Promotion Management (TPM) is a new feature in the Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud that helps companies make the most money possible by optimizing their trade activity and trade planning. 

With TPM, sales teams can manage their marketing plans and decide how to spend their trade funds, all from one connected platform. This makes it easy to see trade budgets and dynamic funding, so sales reps can make sure their promotions are the best they can be and don’t waste money. 

The TPM tool predicts baseline and incremental sales and shows how to get the most out of trade spending to make the most money.

The Offline Penny Perfect Pricing feature lets consumer goods sales reps access important selling information when they are out in the field, even if they aren’t connected to the internet. This makes retail execution better from anywhere. The offline app figures out the exact price based on promotions, discounts for a specific customer, and other factors, and it helps sales reps sell more products.

B2B Commerce & Marketplace is a new feature in  Salesforce for Consumer Goods that improves sales automation and boosts margins. The new B2B Commerce Wholesale Retail App streamlines the process of bulk purchasing for enterprises who resell consumer goods by introducing features like virtual showrooms, sales teamwork, and big cart ordering. 

The Commerce Market offers a wide variety of consumers and sellers in one area, opening up new opportunities for business. Brands and distributors can quickly expand their reach by adding stock to retail partners.

The MuleSoft Accelerator for Consumer Goods is made to help consumer goods companies connect their important systems and data. This gives them a central place to find accurate information and speeds up the process of setting up trading and retail execution. By combining information from trade promotion management, enterprise resource planning, and product information management systems, companies that make consumer goods can get a full picture of their business and make smart decisions about trade planning.

With the MuleSoft Accelerator, companies can use the master data they already have in their traditional back-end systems. This cuts down on the need for manual data entry and makes sure that the data is correct. This integration of critical data helps companies quickly respond to market changes and make informed decisions that drive growth and success.

Salesforce for Consumer Goods industry works with the Salesforce Customer 360 platform. This lets companies that make consumer goods combine first-party data from different tools into a single profile for each customer. This lets companies get a full picture of their customers, including what they’ve bought, what they like, and how they act.

By having a single customer profile, companies that sell consumer goods can plan, implement, and improve personalized engagement strategies for each customer more quickly.

For example, a company could use a personalized email marketing campaign to reach customers who have shown an interest in high-end products, or it could offer discounts to customers who have just bought something. By giving customers a personalized experience, companies that sell consumer goods can make them more loyal and happy.
