Promotion Optimization Institute awards Eversight Best-in-Class distinctions in HQ Analytics & Insights, External Collaboration, and TPO Ergonomics

The POI research team has released their annual Enterprise Planning Vendor Panorama for 2021, which includes a feature on Eversight.  POI evaluated Eversight, along with several other leading vendors, to help manufacturers and retailers understand technology and related service options that can help improve promotional outcomes and drive profitable growth.

Eversight’s AI-powered, experimentation-based revenue management software solution (Offer Innovation) was evaluated across multiple categories, including data management, analytics, user experience, and key differentiators (among others). When providing an outlook and prognosis for Eversight based on this analysis, POI concludes that:

“Eversight is classified in the POI report as TPO, but they have effectively changed the game in that the delivery of recommendation is based upon actual testing of the promotion with consumers.”

“Eversight has a very unique offering in the market…We see Eversight continuing to grow and help manufacturers solve problems around what works in the market. Additionally, their ability to be agile is an asset during times of uncertainty, such as what the industry has experienced with COVID. They are uniquely able to help retailers develop a plan for the future in the midst of what seems to be an unpredictable time.”

“The opportunity to impact retail execution and Retailer relationships as a result of the Advantage partnership is a completely unique differentiator and will help ensure mutually impactful programs are executed at retail. POI sees the Advantage partnership as a tremendous catalyst for growth for Eversight.”

POI’s EPx Vendor Panorama also identifies Best-In-Class categories to draw attention to how critical various capabilities are to manufacturers and solution providers, as well as to provide benchmarks for evaluating how different capabilities can create competitive advantages as part of  holistic enterprise planning. Eversight was awarded Best-In-Class distinction in three such categories, HQ Analytics & Insights, External Collaboration and TPO Ergonomics.
