2021 RetX Vendor Panorama

Exceedra Awarded Best-In-Class in (5) Areas

Following COVID-19 and the new challenges it brought to CPG organizations, Exceedra by TELUS is proud to announce that we have been recognized as a “Best-In-Class” Retail Execution solution for (5) distinct categories.

As a result of the global pandemic, the growth of e-commerce has accelerated dramatically. Shoppers are spending less time in stores and have turned to home delivery or curb-side pick up instead. With forecasting becoming more of an educated guess, CPG manufacturers have turned to more advanced solutions to help them leverage their sales and operate efficiently at a “new normal.”

In the 2021 RetX Vendor Panorama, the Promotion Optimization Institute (POI) research team evaluated 17 leading vendors to help manufacturer and retail partners understand technology and related service options that can help them improve promotional outcomes and drive profitable growth.

Exceedra by Telus is one of the largest global pure play consumer goods solution providers. We strive to continually create business value for our clients by equipping consumer goods companies with smarter sales and distribution capabilities that improve agility, increase efficiency, and enable better decisions, in order to increase profitability.
