For manufacturers, Pathfinder helps map customers and products to channels. Manufacturers can establish market share by region, channel type, and product category. This information allows companies to benchmark channel effectiveness and sales performance. Understanding your starting point provides insights into your options: increase share within existing channels, expand share via new channels, and address regional performance issues.
For distributors, Pathfinder provides information on product mix and customer mix by channel. Distributors can establish market share by region, customer type, and product category. Distributors may use this information to benchmark their own performance and decide on market-building options ranging from acquisitions to product mix expansions to general market penetration improvements within the regions.
