NewsPage 9 will create a single source of customer data, with

execution,” said Fabio Vacirca, senior managing director and
Products operating unit lead for Asia Pacific and Africa at
Accenture. “Our collaboration can better enable consumer products
companies to capture new consumption in untapped traditional trade
as well as complex, multi-layer supply chains, ultimately gaining
revenue and profitability. Accenture is committed to building
solutions that help our clients drive greater efficiency and
effectiveness through intelligence and integration.”
As the most mobile region in the world, Asia leads the global
ecommerce charge1, and has over 25 million under-served retail
outlets,2 representing a huge opportunity for consumer products
companies to maximize growth, optimize costs and drive customer
advocacy. Accenture NewsPage 9 includes distribution management,
sales force automation, and merchandizing capabilities, allowing

5,000 distributors and three million retail outlets across 60
countries. With Accenture NewsPage 9 companies in fast-growth
markets such as ASEAN, China, India, and Africa can better
collaborate to address the needs of joint customers and reach new
companies.
