TeamHaven & FSS Receive Top Honors at Marketing Channel’s Annual Awards Banquet: Most Effective Use of Technology and Data

November 2009 - United Kingdom – After going up against the best companies in the Field Marketing industry, TeamHaven and FSS’s case study on Cadbury UK was selected as the winner of the Most Effective Use of Technology and Data. Partnering up with TDRIVEN, a creative agency in Orange County, California, FSS and TDRIVEN prepared a winning product that truly displayed the power of TeamHaven’s technology.

Field Sales Solutions (FSS) have been working with Cadburys for over 17 years, offering a number of field marketing disciplines from sales and distribution drives through to merchandising and auditing activities.

With a cutting-edge, industry leading IT system, TeamHaven, FSS has created a bespoke platform for Cadbury – enabling them to provide a greener, paperless means of briefing the field team, collecting data (via PDA) and providing online reports back to Cadburys. This use of IT, coupled with FSS’ use of CACI’s Journey Planning system to ensure the Ambassadors spend the minimum number of hours possible on the road (and a significant reduction of vehicle emissions) has earned them the Field Marketing and Brand Experience “Green Award for Effective Use of Data and IT”.

“FSS firmly believe that the combination of real time reporting and management analysis that our partnership with TeamHaven enables us to provide to our clients gives Cadbury unbeatable insights that help to drive their business. We are delighted that this has been recognised through this award and we look forward to working with TeamHaven and our clients to further develop our service offering and remain at the cutting edge of reporting and technology,” says Kate Carr, Managing Director at FSS.

Steve Grimes, Chairman of TeamHaven, shared in the excitement of this great achievement. “We are absolutely delighted to be associated with Cadbury & FSS and winning this award identifies the importance of intelligent data reporting to help increase sales and retail presence.”

TeamHaven continues to set the bar with new features and updates that allow its clients to harness and utilize the collected data in the most effective way possible.

The Field Marketing and Brand Experience Awards were organized by the Field Marketing Magazine and were held at The Marriott Hotel, Grosvenor Square, Mayfair on 8th October 2009.
