How does 8Move support separate catalogs for modern vs traditional trade?

Customer-specific catalog rules hide irrelevant SKUs — single-serve packs for traditional trade are not visible to supermarket buyers, and vice versa.

Can we model seasonal demand spikes in the coverage report?

The coverage report shows demand vs supply projections over 7, 30, and 90-day windows, making seasonal gaps visible in advance.

How are near-expiry returns tracked back to the warehouse?

DriverPro records reason code, lot number, and quantity at pickup. Stock flows back to the warehouse as a tagged return, triggering an inventory adjustment.

Can promo campaigns run simultaneously across multiple regions with different eligibility rules?

SupplyNow campaigns support eligibility rules by customer tier, region, and date range — multiple campaigns can run concurrently with defined precedence.

Can reps capture shelf presence data during delivery visits?

DriverPro allows photo capture at delivery — evidence of shelf presence and promotional display without a separate merchandising visit.

Confectionery & Snacks Distribution

Comment nous aidons

SupplyNow's customer-specific catalog shows the right pack sizes to the right channel — modern trade buyers do not see the informal-market single-serve packs. The coverage report surfaces demand spikes 30, 60, and 90 days out, giving production enough lead time. Returns captured by DriverPro flow back to the warehouse with lot numbers and reason codes.

Distributors serving both modern trade and traditional trade must maintain separate pricing, pack sizes, and catalog visibility per channel
