Commissioned Study Highlights Salsify’s Role in Increasing Sales and Profit, While Creating Operational Efficiencies and Cutting Costs

Salsify, the world’s leading product experience management (PXM) platform, announced the results of a September 2018 commissioned economic impact study conducted by Forrester Consulting which demonstrates that a composite organization using its platform experienced $6 million in economic benefits and a return on investment (ROI) of 339 percent over three years. The Total Economic Impact (TEI) Of Salsify found that the composite organization achieved payback in seven months.

“In my view, Forrester’s study demonstrates what we hear from customers every day – quality, optimized content customized to retailers – delivered quickly and with consumers in mind – has the ability to boost revenue and help seize market share,” says Jason Purcell, CEO of Salsify. “A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for online product content. Brands use our platform to constantly iterate and deliver exceptional customer experiences which gives them a competitive advantage.”

The composite organization Forrester synthesized from the Salsify customer interviews is a $25 billion consumer products company with worldwide operations that maintains large amounts of content for 5,000 SKUs and has 100 commerce partners.
