Reliable. In Your Corner.
Implementing a new pricing solution comes with a change management challenge. In parallel with the software deployment and configuration processes, Clear Demand provides structured training and consulting.
Your pricing team is prepared not only to use the tools, but also to communicate about their implications across functional departments, including category management, store management and finance.
Training is delivered on site as well as web-based. In most instances, this commences as soon as your data is loaded. All training is conducted in the customer’s own custom environment – not in a generic “sandbox” environment.
We advocate a “super-user” or “train the trainer” methodology. Typically this individual is an analyst selected from your pricing team. User guide and training materials are provided, and refresher training is offered periodically as new team members come on board.
Ongoing support.
As a mature, cloud-based solution, most Clear Demand software updates are automated and largely invisible to users. New features or adjustments are communicated as they are implemented. The Help Desk is available 24/7.
