Drivepoint models your business at the SKU, the case, and the shelf, so you can fund the right flavor, hold margin through every distributor deduction, and walk into the buyer meeting with the velocity math already done.
Drivepoint is built around the levers an F&B CFO actually pulls: velocity, trade spend, co-man, and cash.
Every flavor, pack and format shows up as a real SKU with units per store per week built in. Winners earn more doors; slow movers get cut before the next reset.
Slotting, MCB, OI, free-fills and spoilage stitched into a landed-margin view per item and per banner, so the promo calendar is a decision, not a surprise on the remittance.
Tie demand to co-man runs, ingredient lead times and shelf life. See the cash a production run ties up and the spoilage risk before you commit the PO.
Whole Foods, Sprouts, Kroger, KeHE and UNFI modeled per partner: velocity, deductions and replenishment. One pack regenerates each buyer review every cycle.
Drop-in models for Whole Foods, Sprouts and Costco, wired to the way each retailer actually buys and reports.
What F&B brand operators and finance leads ask before they move their planning onto Drivepoint.
Drivepoint models every flavor, pack, and format as an individual SKU with units-per-store-per-week built in. Slow movers get flagged automatically before the next retail reset, so your team can make the cut before a buyer does. Oats Overnight used the model to surface a $4M strategic opportunity tied to a production facility decision that would not have been visible in a traditional spreadsheet.
Yes. Slotting, MCBs, off-invoice allowances, free-fills, and spoilage are all modeled per item and per banner. The result is a landed margin view for each retail partner, so your promo calendar is a deliberate decision rather than a surprise on the remittance. Whole Foods, Sprouts, Kroger, KeHE, and UNFI each get a separate P&L rather than a blended number.
Drivepoint ties demand forecasts to co-manufacturer run schedules, ingredient lead times, MOQs, and shelf life. You see the cash tied up in a production run and the spoilage risk before you commit the PO. immi uses Drivepoint so that after month close, the finance team is ready to focus on strategic decisions rather than finishing accounting work.
Yes. When planning a regional rollout or entering a new banner, Drivepoint uses comparable launch analogs from your existing distribution history to seed the velocity forecast. You can model multiple distribution scenarios (full-banner, regional-first, or club-led) with trade spend, co-man capacity, and cash timing built in so you walk into the buyer meeting with the numbers already done.
Drivepoint integrates with more than 75 data sources, including Shopify, Amazon, NetSuite, QuickBooks, and major distributor portals. Actuals from KeHE, UNFI, and direct retailer EDI feeds sync automatically into the model, so velocity and deduction data are current without manual exports. Most food and beverage brands are fully connected within the first two weeks of onboarding.
