- The explosion of modern trade, minimarkets, and growing e-commerce challenges brands to balance traditional vs. new channels for optimal penetration.
- With data-driven assessment, YCP helps companies realign channel strategy, boosting efficiency between general trade, modern trade, and digital platforms.
Contending with Regulatory Uncertainty and Compliance Demands

- By mapping regulatory change and engaging with local authorities, YCP assists companies to achieve compliant, agile, and uninterrupted RTM execution.
Driving Performance Through Route and Salesforce Optimization
- Salesforce productivity is hampered by congested routes, uneven demand, and manual tracking, lowering per-rep coverage and route profitability.
