effectmanager acquires 1st-Retail and Tilbudsugen.dk
effectmanager, has acquired Tilbudsugen.dk and 1st Retail, the company behind Tilbudsdata. "Our goal is clear. We want to be the number one partner for promotion optimization, analysis, and planning in the Nordics," says Jesper Drachmann, CEO of effectmanager.
The right product, in the right quantity, at the right price, and at the right time – This, is what retailers and their suppliers aim for every time they sell a product. Now, they can significantly increase their chances of hitting the target with their sales forecasts and pricing strategies.
All three companies already have customers in the Nordic countries, and consumers know and use Tilbudsugen's pages in the four Nordic countries. With the acquisition of the two companies, effectmanager doubles the number of employees and triples the number of customers.
"We are now consolidating all our knowledge, skills, and data about the customer journey into one company. This means that in the future, it will be even easier for our customers to obtain the desired data and perform the right analyses," explains Jesper Drachmann.
"In essence, our customers had to collect and structure all data themselves across the three services. Now, our customers will have an easier time than shopping at IKEA, where you must fetch multiple different packages and assemble the items yourself. We provide everything as one package - ready to use."
Jesper Drachmann, who has more than 25 years of experience in both FMCG and retail, has an in-depth knowledge of marketing, customer journeys, data, and product flow from both the supplier and retailer sides. He is pleased that the employees from the other two companies are joining effectmanager.
Another positive effect of combining Tilbudsdata and Tilbudsugen.dk under effectmanager is that it gives existing and new customers more opportunities to use the unique data from Tilbudsugen.dk and Tilbudsdata for planning, reporting, and analyzing commercial activities.
Henriette Weinreich, Brand & Research Manager Fritz Schur Consumer Group, is delighted with the new partnership:
"We already subscribe to effectmanager, Tilbudsdata, and Tilbudsugen, all of which provide useful data for us. Going forward, we will get everything delivered collectively through one channel. We expect that when you combine three important data sources about promotions, consumer behavior, and our out-of-store sales, we will become more efficient in our analysis. This will improve our collaboration with our customers, increase our consumer insights, and ultimately enhance our ability to forecast sales. I can only see advantages in this partnership," says Henriette Weinreich.
Jesper Drachmann also guarantees that the new consolidated entity will help both retail chains and their suppliers to utilize sales and promotion data even better.
"We are bringing all sales and service together in effectmanager's new headquarters in Skanderborg, which also means that customers will only need to call one place instead of three when they have questions or requests for the data we provide. We will serve our customers even better than we do today."
