Revenue cascade · with Tally
Plan, execute, and measure every dollar of trade.
Trade spend is 20–30% of revenue, and most brands can’t say which promotions are profitable. Modus puts every promotion on one calendar with planned spend, predicted lift, and actual ROI — connected live to the forecast.
TallyKroger TPR pacing +12% over plan — ROI still positive at current lift.
01 · The blind spot
Trade is 20–30% of revenue and the second-largest line on your P&L — managed in a spreadsheet that was stale before the quarter started. Which promotions made money? You’ll know in eight weeks, maybe.
02 · The instrument
Every promotion lives on one calendar with planned spend, AI-predicted lift from your own history, and measured ROI as actuals land. A new event updates the forecast the moment you save it.
03 · The discipline
Tally paces every budget in real time, flags overspend while you can still act, and carries the receipts into deductions — so the promo you funded and the deduction you’re billed reconcile themselves.
Calendar & planning grid
Every promotion, on one timeline.
Create the event in the week it runs; planned spend, predicted lift, and the forecast impact land in the same motion. No more rebuilding the calendar every Monday.
Budgets & pacing
Know where the money stands mid-quarter — not in the post-mortem.
Live pacing against versioned budgets, with projections and lock periods. Overspend surfaces while you can still act on it, and reallocations come drafted.
Lift prediction vs. actuals
Every event graded against its promise.
AI predicts lift from your own history; actuals grade the prediction as they land. The promo that missed carries its explanation into the next planning cycle.
Gross-to-net & customer P&L
See what each retailer really costs.
The full waterfall — gross to trade to deductions to net — per retailer, with composite scorecards and a leaderboard. Rate trends show where the economics are drifting.
Accruals & approvals
Finance and sales on the same number.
Accruals post with reversal tracking, approvals gate the spend, and broker proposals land in the same calendar — so the close doesn’t start with an argument.
Know which promos make money while they’re running.
Featured · Live ROI on every event
Planned spend, predicted lift, actual performance — one row per promotion. Underperformers surface on the punchlist mid-flight, not in next quarter’s post-mortem.
