The Importance of Channel Data Management (CDM) Systems

In a data-driven marketplace, a robust CDM software is important to the success of an organization.

Most organizations focus mainly on the top 20 percent of their resellers. As a result, they neglect the opportunity of developing up-and-coming resellers.

However, CDM solutions help compile a more accurate and in-depth data from the entire long tail of the sales channel.  Therefore, by studying their sales data, manufacturers are able to identify hidden opportunities and gain a better understanding of where incentives and marketing programs are paying the best dividends.

This is particularly important in emerging markets where visibility can be difficult.
