Context

Why pladis matters

  1. CPG vertical proof point. Most current deployments are LSP or banking. A pladis win proves the platform works for FMCG distribution.
  2. Scale play. pladis operates in 100+ countries — a successful pilot could expand globally.
  3. AgentFleet for CPG. The CPG AgentFleet deck (22 slides) was built for exactly this type of customer.
