Challenge

Promotions are designed to drive volume and growth, but they are often planned in isolation from financial reality. Many organizations rely on spreadsheets and disconnected tools to plan promotions, estimate spend, and manage accruals, leading to inaccurate provisions, late adjustments, and margin surprises. As promotional complexity increases, Finance and Commercial teams struggle to stay aligned on what was planned, what was accrued, and what was actually spent.

IMA360 Promotion Planning is the system of control for planning and funding promotional programs. It brings promotion design, expected performance, provisions, and accruals into a single governed workflow so promotions are financially visible from the moment they are planned. By connecting commercial planning with financial controls, IMA360 ensures promotional spend is forecasted accurately, accrued correctly, and executed without surprises.
