New on the Shelf: Faster Forecast Reviews, Smarter Access, and Smoother UI

🚚 Just Shipped: May Product Updates

This month, Confido gets even easier to use — with updates designed to help your team move faster, stay in sync, and plan smarter. From quicker batch approvals in forecasting to enterprise-ready permissioning, everything’s built to support your growth.

Let’s take a walk down the aisle and check out what’s new!

⚡ Forecasting — Now Easier to Review and Accept in Bulk

We’ve made it simpler to move through recommendations, whether you're refining forecasts or updating your plan for the quarter. Our goal is less clicking, faster resolutions.

• Segment and accept recommendations in bulk— grouped by flexible attributes, including planning group, product, product family, or custom attributes

• Edit depletion forecasts directly and add new rows, with intuitive controls and batch apply

🔐 Enterprise-Ready Access Controls

As CPG teams grow, so do their permissions needs. We’ve added new controls to help admins and account owners manage who can see and edit what.

• Added custom access controls for planning groups — specifying create, read, update, and delete permissions

• Admins can modify access for all planning groups

• Account owners can access and modify planning groups for which they have permission

✨ UI Updates that Just Make Life Easier

These changes aren’t flashy, but you'll notice them in your day-to-day workflows.

• Saved pinned views and column visibility settings on the Trade Calendar

• Faster load times across the Trade Promotion Calendar

• Cleaner Excel exports — no more formatting issues or weird number glitches

✅ Clean Up on Aisle 3

We’ve cleaned up a few bugs to ensure everything runs smoothly:

• Fixed issue with deductions filters not displaying Type(s) or Dispute Likelihood options

• Fixed a bug in the Trade Calendar export where long numbers broke Excel formatting

Instead of just forecasting based on what’s sold off the shelf, our new model leverages actual shipments to distributors and retailers. This added visibility into your supply chain gives you a more complete view of how products move through the full retail cycle.

• Gain clearer insights into product velocity

• Better strategize your sales from warehouse to shelf to pantry

• Make data-driven decisions that drive smarter, more responsive planningSchedule a walk-through session with your Customer Success Manager to get started.
