Our “Fearless Planning in summer with A.I.” FMCG365 event was quite a hit and… ‘a bit different’. We presented our IT solutions to 30 decision-makers (the field sales and marketing managers of Alken-Maes, D-Drinks, Henkel, United Softdrinks and Philips Lighting), albeit with a twist. The venue at Microsoft in Zaventem had a distinctly summer feel to it, with Hawaiian leis, sunglasses and suntan lotion for everyone as well as a large Gouden Carolus sun umbrella in the centre of the room.
Flanders Expo Gent
Despite not being the obvious thing for a company such as Avento to do, we felt perfectly at home at our spot at HorecaExpo 2017. From 19 to 23 November, Avento took part in the Gent trade fair, not for the visitors, but for the exhibitors.
‘We were a bit of a fish out of water. This type of activity is very unusual for an IT company. At our stand, however, we were able to welcome interested parties, such as decision-makers from other exhibitors, in a warm, friendly atmosphere. We provided demonstrations of our solutions on tablets and TV screens’, explains Steven Joris, Sales and Development Manager. ‘It was certainly very useful because a strong CRM for field-actions is still very much an abstract concept for many professionals.’
The future starts now
Now more than ever, Machine Learning (ML) and The Internet of Things (IoT) are on the agenda of the FMCG- & Retail sector. The Digital Transformation can no longer be ignored. But how do you handle this disruption?
How do you handle the burst of all incoming data “in the field” and how do you translate this data into results? And above all: How can ML and the IoT support you in this challenge?
This B2B event will demonstrate you how innovative technology can be applied for ‘Assortment Improvement’ and ‘Field Resource Optimisation’ (Territory Management)
An event tailored to the CEO, Sales Director, Field Sales Director, Marketing Director and IT Business Director.
