In today’s fast paced retail landscape, marketing and procurement teams are under increasing pressure to deliver more with less. Yet, many businesses unknowingly lose significant portions of their budgets due to inefficiencies, outdated processes and fragmented marketing operations.
From over-ordering and inconsistent procurement to a lack of visibility into marketing spend, these silent budget leaks slow down operations, increase waste and prevent businesses from investing where it truly matters. Organisation don’t have the right tools or insights to spot and address these inefficiencies before they add up.
By embracing technology driven marketing resource management (MRM) businesses can take control of their marketing spend, streamline procurement, automate processes and make data-driven decisions that prevent budget waste.
Where inefficiencies are holding businesses back:
Without real visibility into marketing performance businesses risk continuing to spend reactively rather than strategically – a challenge that frows as budgets tighten.
Where can businesses recover hidden cost savings?
To take control of their marketing budgets, organisations need more than just cost cutting measures, they need a strategic, technology led approach that optimises every stage of the process.
Eliminating inefficiencies with store specific insights
A store profiling system provides procurement reams with real-time insights into store- specific marketing needs, ensuring each location receives exactly what’s required, reducing unnecessary production, minimising waste and improving efficiency.
Reducing print costs through digital innovation
Automated artwork creation and digital editing eliminates costly print overruns, long approval times, and excess stock, enabling businesses to move faster while significantly cutting distribution costs.
Strengthening procurement control to prevent budget leaks
Using a centralised ordering system ensures that all teams work with consistent order quantities, standardised materials, ad clear budget tracking, removing the inefficiencies that arise with manual approvals and disconnected workflows.
Optimising content for maximum ROI
With automated artwork generation and online proofing, marketing teams can create, approve and distribute high-quality, reusable content, reducing dependence on expensive external production teams and inefficient ad spend.
Automating manual processes to free up strategic resources
Routine tasks like artwork creation, proofing approvals and ordering should require constant resource oversight. Automating these workflows allows businesses to reduce labour costs and refocus teams on high-value strategic work.
Geo-targeting for smarter marketing spend
By aligning marketing efforts with store performance data, teams can ensure that marketing budgets are directed towards the locations and audiences where they will generate the highest returns, rather than spending blindly.
Streamlining the marketing supply chain to eliminate overspending
A fully connected supply chain prevents duplication, redundant store orders and unnecessary distribution expenses, ensuring that marketing materials are produced in the right quantities, at the right time, and at the lowest possible cost.
Smarter marketing budget management
Marketing leaders must shift from reactive budget management to proactive, data driven approach. By investing in technology that centralises marketing operations, automates processes, and provides real-time insights, businesses can unlock hidden savings while maintain brand consistency and marketing effectiveness.
