The emerging Europeans RMNs your team needs to track
The fragmentation problem. Why cross-retailer execution is getting harder. As more brands work across 4–6 RMNs, the inability to compare performance on a like-for-like basis is slowing down budget decisions and costing revenue.

Every day spent reconciling retailer data is a day your budget isn’t moving where it should. Here’s what the numbers say.
It's not just about having too many platforms to log into. When retailers use different reporting logic, different KPI definitions, and different measurement approaches, your team spends its time reconciling data instead of acting on it. That latency has a real commercial cost.
See where execution breaks downLeading teams don't try to force every retailer into the same shape. Instead, they agree on four things: common KPIs, comparison rules, a shared review rhythm, and clear signals for when to move budget. That's enough structure to make confident cross-retailer decisions.
