Case Study: Valio USA (Finlandia Cheese) achieves rapid TPM deployment and seamless SAP integration with UpClear BluePlanner
A UpClear Case Study
How Valio USA Inc. Wins at the Holidays, and at TPM with UpClear BluePlanner
Valio USA Inc., maker of Finlandia Cheese, had outgrown its legacy trade spend system and needed a fast, scalable Trade Promotion Management solution before year-end. With VP Joe DeMarco recommending UpClear’s BluePlanner, Valio chose UpClear to provide a TPM platform that could be deployed quickly and support planning, integration and analytics.
UpClear implemented BluePlanner using an agile “start fast, small” approach, enabling Valio’s sales team to begin planning promotions in as little as four weeks, with integrations and payments delivered in subsequent phases and analytics in two weeks. UpClear also supported a seamless SAP ERP cutover with no reporting disruption; Valio achieved immediate ROI, closed-loop payments, better promotion insights, and is now exploring multi-scenario planning in BluePlanner.
