The Challenge

Uncontrolled Brand Drift: With over 3,000 resellers, enforcing consistent adherence to Sage brand guidelines – including approved logos, messaging, and visual assets – is extremely difficult to manage manually.
Increased Legal Risk: Non-compliance with Sage brand guidelines, including improper trademark use and outdated legal disclosures, raises the risk of legal and contractual issues.
Operational Inefficiency: Brand teams spend excessive time on manual audits to enforce guideline compliance, limiting focus on growth initiatives.
Limited Visibility: Inadequate oversight makes it difficult to detect resellers violating brand guidelines, including unauthorized pricing or promotion of competing products.
Delayed Rebranding Adoption: Without a scalable tracking system, enforcing brand guideline compliance during rebrands is slow and inconsistent.
