Business challenge

Alken-Maes asked Brightfox to assist in implementing a platform where they could align the on-trade (pubs) and off-trade (wholesale) market business with each other. As one of the leading Belgian brewers it faces a fast changing marketplace where prices are under constant pressure. The need for a business platform which gives them an overall overview of all interactions with their customer was key. Establishing a sales tool which keeps track of both markets provides Alken-Maes with a tool which is able to report solid and consistent figures about their market share.
