Products Purpose-Built for Food Brands
Deduction Management and Auto-Disputes
Food brands distributing through grocery, mass, club, foodservice, specialty retailers, and more deal with heavy deduction volumes from spoilage claims to freight chargebacks.
Confido ingests remittance data, categorizes every deduction type, surfaces invalid claims automatically, and submits disputes on your behalf so your team can drive time and cost savings.

Sales Forecasting and Trade
Food brands manage complex trade calendars and when promotional spend lives in disconnected spreadsheets, actuals are playing catch-up.
Confido gives your team a unified view of trade spend, tracks how promotions perform against POS movement, and feeds actuals and AI-driven recommendations into the sales forecast so numbers reflect the reality of the business.

Demand Planning
A reset at Costco and a regional expansion into Natural Grocers require different demand assumptions, and layering in a new product launch makes an already complex forecast even harder.
Confido pulls together POS data, trade calendars, and sales team inputs into a single demand plan - so procurement and supply chain teams are always building to a forecast that reflects reality.

Retail Analytics
Confido connects directly to syndicated data sources like SPINS and Nielsen - pulling velocity, market share, and distribution metrics into the same environment where your team is already working.
From there, your team can build reports on profitability, trends, and promotional ROI — with AI-driven insights that show exactly where trade investment is driving velocity.

$500K+
in Deduction Cost Savings
Since adopting Confido, Feastables has been able to flag duplicate deductions, reduce errors in accruals, and reforecast more confidently - recouping $500K+ by identifying invalid or duplicate charges and short ships.
50% Faster Implementation
Seamless Implementation vs. Legacy Providers
“A previous implementation had taken up to 10 months to complete. It’s outdated in my opinion. Given that we’re super lean, we needed to leverage AI solutions - and Confido was one of the early adopters of AI.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions by Food Teams
How does Confido help food brands manage trade spend across a complex retailer network?
Food brands run complex trade calendars and managing promotional spend in disconnected systems means actuals are always catching up to plan. Confido provides teams a single view of trade spend, tracks promotional lift against POS movement, and keeps accruals current so everyone is working from a single source of truth.
How does Confido support demand planning for food brands with complex SKU catalogs?
As food brands expand into new flavors, formats, and channels, each new SKU brings additional forecasting inputs, deduction codes, and trade spend to track. Confido uses AI and statistical models to handle straightforward, high-velocity items - freeing your team to focus on the SKUs, accounts, and scenarios that require judgment.
How does Confido help food brands track new item performance and distribution gains?
Launching a new item into retail is a high-stakes moment for a food brand. Confido connects directly to syndicated data sources alongside internal data, giving your team configurable reporting capabilities on velocity, distribution gains, and promotional ROI to determine what's working and where to double down.
How does Confido handle deductions across major grocery retailers and distributors?
Food brands face high deduction volume and each retailer and distributor has their own remittance format and compliance requirements. Confido ingests data directly from each source, auto-categorizes every deduction type, flags invalid claims in real time, and files disputes automatically so your team recovers revenue without the manual chase.
