ModusCPG Scout is a sales-planning agent for consumer goods brands, within a platform covering sales, trade, demand, supply, deductions, and S&OP. Scout turns a won meeting into a 52-week account plan tied to the live forecast, with a distribution wizard that carries closed distribution wins into trade, demand, and supply planning. Its Scenario Builder supports what-if and recommend modes, side-by-side comparisons, and one-click promotion of a selected scenario. Retailer 360 combines account forecasts, promotions, opportunities, relationships, and operations. The forecast grid presents year-to-date actuals and year-to-go plans by retailer, distribution center, product, brand, or week, with overrides, EDLP, and allowances. Sales workflows also cover quotas, line reviews, annual plans, CRM contacts and activities, broker proposals, and S&OP signoff. ModusCPG lists integrations including several ERP and accounting systems, but says only NetSuite, SAP, and QuickBooks connectors are wired in today and advises confirming broader availability.
