transcosmos releases "marketing materials management service," that manages end-to-end process from receiving to shipping of POPs and other promotional materials

TOKYO, Jan. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- transcosmos inc. has released "marketing materials management service," an end-to-end one-stop service that ranges from storing clients' marketing materials such as point-of-purchase displays (POPs) in its warehouse, to building and operating order management systems, to shipping the materials to clients' branches and stores.

To run product launch and other promotional campaigns, manufacturers and retailers need to set up various POPs such as posters, banners and panels as well as prepare brochures, novelties, prizes and other marketing materials in each of their stores for in-store promotions. It is not rare for clients' marketing members to manually enter and manage data for this whole materials management process. In some cases, they are in charge of a diverse range of tasks such as placing orders to production companies, moving and storing materials delivered to their warehouses via their headquarters, entering order data placed by branches and stores manually, giving shipping orders to warehouses, managing inventory and more. As such, their man-hours weigh heavily on businesses.

To address such a situation, transcosmos offers the one-stop service that includes the development and operations of order management systems and the delivery of materials to branches and stores. More specifically, transcosmos stores clients' marketing materials at "E-Commerce One-Stop Center Kita-Kashiwa," its logistics center specifically designed for the e-commerce business and then deliver the materials to clients' branches and stores upon receiving orders. In order to offer a user-friendly service for the branches and stores, transcosmos builds a dedicated online order management system which is designed just like e-commerce websites that come with an intuitive UI. In addition, the one-stop marketing management service includes features that manage inventory accurately by digitalizing all numeric results and placing additional orders for materials based on actual delivery volume. Ultimately, the service helps clients reduce tasks and man-hours required for managing marketing materials thereby streamlining the whole process.
