    Our Expertise - Lexia Analytics

    Lexia Analytics is a technology and consulting services firm that delivers trade spend optimization solutions for consumer goods companies in Asia-Pacific and Europe. We operate an integrated business model offering strategic guidance and advice to clients while working alongside them to develop and implement our recommendations. Lexia owns a propriety trade promotion management and optimization solution for which it provides customization, hosting, implementation and support services. We strive relentlessly to add value to our client’s businesses through a deep understanding of their commercial needs and delivering the execution that makes the difference between a good idea and a great result.

    Lexia works primarily for consumer goods companies which spend vast amounts of capital on marketing and selling their products to customers (ie retailers) and consumers. These funds, in the form of discounts, rebates, listing fees etc., form the life blood of most trading relationships and are one of the most important tools of the commercial function. For most of these companies the amount of money spent in this area is equal or greater than their actual net profit. And for most of these companies, these so-called “funds to trade” or “trade spend” often lack a granular understanding, driving sub-optimal decision making and opening them up to significant financial control risks.

    In almost all cases, these issues are not due to a lack of data. The issue is that it is “messy data”, ie it is unstructured, uncleansed, unformatted data for which no automatic procedures have ever been developed to upload, no easy-access data platform is in place and no interface exists to report the data in a comprehensive format. Lexia Analytics enables our clients to get insight into exactly what they are spending with which customers and for which brands and with a definitive value of their return. It enables the management team to apply better, faster and more consistent business decisions which will ultimately improve their profitability.
