What ModusCPG Scout is
ModusCPG Scout is a web-based sales-planning agent for consumer goods brands, part of a broader operating system covering sales, trade, demand, supply, deductions, and S&OP. It turns a won meeting into a 52-week account plan tied to the live forecast. A distribution wizard feeds closed distribution wins into trade, demand, and supply plans, while quota tracking and account scorecards support sales planning. Its Scenario Builder offers what-if and recommend modes, side-by-side comparisons, and one-click promotion of a chosen scenario. Retailer 360 brings forecast, promotions, opportunities, relationships, and operations together for an account. The forecast grid can show actuals and plans by retailer, distribution center, product, brand, or week, with overrides, EDLP, and allowances. Sales workflows also include quota tracking, line reviews, annual plans, CRM contacts and activities, broker proposals, and S&OP signoff. ModusCPG lists ERP and accounting connectors, but says only NetSuite, SAP, and QuickBooks are wired in today and broader availability should be confirmed. Pricing is not published; prospective customers are directed to book a demo.
