SILVER:

Development new Cloud based Rewards Portal for AGCO Corp.

AGCO Corp have been a client of MRM’s for many years. Their global dealership network uses our online portal to place orders from a portfolio of marketing collateral and Point of Sale materials, supplied in country specific languages.

In March 2019 AGCO requested us to identify areas for process improvement in connection with an initiative they were running called “Project 10”.  In response we proposed a move from a legacy system to a new in house cloud-based solution we called “Newton”,

Newton includes a direct link to the AGCO IT system resulting in staff and dealers having the ability to see images of collateral items.  In addition the system integration allows dealers to search, review and  order items via their unique Dealer Portal with address details updated in real time.  In addition, the system has the ability for images to be uploaded to create bespoke online brochures..

Newton also provides a tailored management dashboard, with improved reporting and the ability to access via mobile devices as well as traditional PC’s.

Huge congratulations to everyone at MRM for their dedication and support in providing efficient management of all our client campaigns and activities.   We would also like to congratulate the other winners in their individual categories, which in combination is continuing the development and  growing relevance of promotional marketing !
