STRATEGIC CHANNEL MANAGEMENT


Selling through channels have become a preferred subject  for the corporates. Perhaps that's because technology has  added so many channels to what was already available that  companies must be even smarter about choosing which ways  to sell their products and services. Channels have become  stronger and more complex with the advent of e- commerce.  These online channels appear to have less to do with the  human touch and more to do with the use of technology,  which can be both good and bad, depending on how companies  use the channels to service their customers. And it's  customer preference that should determine which channels  to use.


Plutous’s software and services enable channel managers to  implement, support, measure and optimize services  throughout the demand chain. For us at Plutous, Strategic  Channel Management is a process by which we create  formalized programs for servicing our customers within a  specific channel and provide a positive impact. Our  clearly defined channel management strategy for various  segments helps us become more effective within each  segment. Our channel management goals, policies, products  and programs are efficiently designed in such a way that  they maintain brand consistency across the demand chain  which is critical to long term success of our customers.  Our consultants truly understand and believe that the key  to successful channel management is good balance between  customization and brand consistency.

 

GROWTH STRATEGY


While it is true that great ideas need great execution, we  at Plutous also believe that to create sustainable growth,  value must be created across a business system which can  yield breakthrough ideas and improved performance.  Stakeholders usually look the percentage of growth in cash  flows, revenue, EBITDA and profits. This is usually less  painful than alternative methods such as cost reduction,  manpower reduction, changes in ownership structure,  capital structure in support of profit enhancement.


For us growth means creating and delivering additional  value to the bottom line through new methods. People,  processes and products are some of the critical sources of  value that we utilize to provide competitive advantage to  our customers. With customer care at heart, Plutous  creates a unique customer value that helps our customers  unlock their inner creative power and achieve results that  are unimaginable, thereby making way for growth at all  levels. Our growth strategy tools focus resources on  seizing opportunities for profitable growth. After all, we  truly understand that for any business to survive growth  is an imperative, not an option.
