Distributor partnership

Be the brand your distributor fights for.

Your distributor manages hundreds of brands. The ones that get worked show up knowing where a tasting will land, where ad dollars will move cases — and flag a slowing account before it becomes a report-day surprise.

DepletionIQ works from the reports distributors already provide. It's built to help suppliers and distributor teams align around the accounts, programs, and market support most likely to drive results.


The lag problem

A 30–45 day old problem
isn't a problem. It's a loss.

By the time an issue surfaces in a monthly depletion report, the shelf went quiet weeks ago. Reacting to old news isn't partnership — it's cleanup.

Spreadsheets alone · reactive
Day 0

An account's velocity starts to fade. Nobody sees it.

Day 30–45

The distributor report finally lands — the issue is buried in a spreadsheet.

Day 60+

Somebody finally spots it. The shelf slot is already at risk.

With DepletionIQ · proactive
Report day

Data ingested and every account scored the same day it arrives.

Same week

Fading accounts flagged. You call your rep with a tasting or ad plan.

Next cycle

You're ahead of it — and your distributor sees you arrive prepared with a useful plan.

Aim ad dollars.
Don't spray them.

Put co-op and ad spend behind the markets and accounts already trending up — backed by numbers your distributor can see too, instead of splitting the budget evenly and hoping.

Bring the tasting plan to the meeting.

Walk into the monthly distributor meeting knowing exactly which accounts a tasting will move — and hand your rep a focused call list that supports the team's priorities.

Spot it early and bring a plan to your rep.

Spot a slowing account weeks before it surfaces in anyone's monthly review. When you make your rep's job easier, your brand gets worked harder.

The monthly meeting

Walk in with answers.
Not questions.

Every distributor meeting becomes a working session instead of a status update. Here's what DepletionIQ puts in your hand before you sit down — including the tastings and ad dollars most likely to pay off.

You bring the plan

What's on your side of the table.

Concrete, account-level asks your rep can act on the same day.

  • A tasting calendar targeted at accounts trending up
  • Ad and co-op targets backed by account-level velocity
  • A printable lift call list of accounts about to fall out
  • Reorder-window flags before shelves go empty
What you stop doing

What never makes the agenda again.

The reactive habits that make a producer hard to work with.

  • Asking your rep "how are we doing?" — and waiting a month for the answer
  • Discovering a lost placement 45 days after the shelf went quiet
  • Spreading tasting and ad budget evenly because nobody knows what worked
  • Arguing about numbers instead of agreeing on the next move
Reps push the brands that make their job easier. Show up with answers, not questions.
