🔮 Demand Planning Module Preview

• Unify the full picture - Layer sales forecasts, statistical models, live inventory, and promotional plans in one place

• Drive true S&OP alignment - Connect commercial insights with supply chain execution and processes

…more details and information coming soon!

⌛️ Disputes Timeline

Never lose track of a dispute again. Confido now automatically captures your complete dispute history. From initial submission to retailer responses to re-disputes, the new, single-threaded disputes timeline provides:

• A complete audit trail - Every action, response, and status change preserved in chronological order for seamless handoffs and full context

• Intuitive tracking - No more digging through lists or spreadsheets, or relying on your memory to recall where each dispute stands

• Automated status updates - Intelligent detection updates your timeline and syncs your dashboard automatically based on latest portal and email activity

✨ Updates that just Make Life Easier ✨ 

• .ZIP file ingestion for deduction backups - Efficient document processing at scale, eliminating the need to manually attach hundreds of PDFs one-by-one to individual deductions

• Depletions forecast upload support - Ability to directly upload depletions data into your forecast to supplement consumption data

Payment terms validation is now available on Confido, just one of the many new opportunities unlocked by Advanced Disputes.

The reality is that your customers are taking early pay discounts whether they've earned them or not. For most brands, it's been too difficult to track and too cumbersome to dispute…until now.

The opportunity can be massive: For example, a $100M brand that reduces early pay discounts by just 0.2% (from 2% to 1.8%) could realize $200k in savings, directly to the bottom line.

Payment terms validation powered by Advanced Disputes helps you recover lost margin:

• Upload payment terms for each customer to easily track your entire base

• Receive instant warnings when discounts don't match agreed terms

• Set up auto-disputes to automatically combat invalid early pay deductions

This is one of the largest, controllable expenses on your P&L, and it's time to take back control.
