The easy and flexible planning boards are a focal point of BMS. Although the monochrome and grid-like appearance - it gives all the information users need to analyze, plan and track their business. The TPM module in BMS lets users plan individual trade promotions on specific products.

The module contains the full life cycle of the promotions from planning, pre-evaluation, execution support, settlement and post evaluation. With the promotion calendar, easily check for collapses between customers and the general promotion pressure. Each promotion is shown with brand color code and profile indicator. Moving promotions can be done with drag-and-drop and users can access the full details with one click. Reports are using a unique aggregation technology to render reports in seconds, no matter the size of the business.

BMS works well for result oriented companies who seek to optimize their financial results and are ready to implement the right business tools to make it happen. BMS comes with full support packages covering simple implementation support, end-user support, interface support, and server operational support. Although BMS can work as a standalone system, it can also be integrated with existing systems, like e.g. SAP, FuturMaster and CatMan Solution. It’s easy to automatically load ERP master data (products, prices, sales) into BMS.
