Add a SKU, add an outlet, add a licence line.

Trade promotion, supply chain, retail execution, e-commerce — every workflow on a vendor licence that scales with SKUs and outlets. We replace the contracts that scale faster than your top line.

About this industry

CPG brand owners face the same compression every quarter — input costs up, retail negotiating power up, marketing spend under review, and a SaaS stack that bills harder on every SKU launched, every outlet covered and every promotion run. TPM, DSD, retail execution, supply chain, e-commerce, sales-force-automation — every workflow has a vendor module renewing on its own schedule. We rebuild the load-bearing ones as software you own.

What renting costs the brand

Four contracts every CPG CIO has signed.

Trade-promotion lock-in

Your TPM platform owns the historical promo schema. Every new format requires vendor consulting hours; every fiscal-year refresh has the renewal conversation baked in.

Per-SKU, per-outlet pricing

Retail execution apps and SFA tools scale per outlet visited and per SKU tracked. Distribution expansion expands the licence bill faster than gross margin.

Account-portal fragmentation

Every major retailer mandates their own ordering, invoice and promo portal. Master data lives in 12 places; reconciliation absorbs whole headcount budgets.

Demand-sense delay

Forecasting modules update monthly. Promo lift, weather, social signal arrive in real time. The vendor module is always a cycle behind the shelf.

What you build instead

Six workflows we replace per category.

Retail-execution AI

Field-rep route planning, OSA detection, planogram compliance — generated from your photos, your stores, your priorities. Operates within the field-headcount budget your COO already set.

Deductions & claims agent

Reads the deduction, traces back to the promo, the load, the invoice. Drafts the dispute. Recovers the claims your AR team currently writes off.

Auditable shelf BI

Sell-in vs sell-out, share of shelf, promo ROI. Every metric traceable to source. Compliance and audit committee asks become self-serve.

TPM rebuilt as agents

Promo design, account-level pricing, lift modelling — agents that read your historic promo data and write back when your KAMs approve. Replaces what TPM vendors charge per account.

Demand-sense supply chain

Forecast at SKU/account/week resolution. Pulls promo calendar, weather, ad spend and social. Replaces a vendor module that costs more per quarter than the inventory it optimises.

NPD lifecycle workflow

New-product development from concept to listing — encoded as data your innovation team edits. Replaces a sprawl of project tools and document portals.

AI Integration

How saasinator brings AI to CPG.

Assess

Map every AI opportunity across your trade, supply, sales and e-commerce stacks. Score by margin per outlet, NPD throughput, and deduction-recovery upside.

Deliver

AI-native workflows replace the manual loops your KAMs, demand planners and field teams run today. Two-week pilot per workflow, working screens at the end.

Operate

Governed agentic systems in production. Every promo decision logged, every forecast traceable, every workflow change owned by your team.
