Confido vs Promomash

Confido automates the full money side in software your team runs (automated deduction backup retrieval, dispute filing to retailer portals, and cash application posted to your ERP) rather than through a managed-service team. Confido also includes demand planning, which Promomash does not offer.

Both handle deductions; the model differs. Confido automates them in software and posts directly to your ERP, with your team in control and full audit support. Promomash delivers deductions as a turnkey managed service, where their team works them for you. Choose based on whether you want to own the workflow or outsource it.

No. Field demo and event coordination is Promomash's specialty, and Confido does not replicate it. Confido is the financial system of record for trade, deductions, and planning; brands that run heavy demo programs often pair a field-execution tool with Confido.

Confido connects natively to 50+ retailers, distributors, and ERP platforms, including Walmart, Target, Kroger, KeHE, UNFI, SAP, NetSuite, and Dynamics 365, with all integrations built and managed by Confido. Promomash relies on its Crisp integration for POS and shipment data, which functions as a separate third-party feed. With Confido, one vendor is responsible for all data ingest.

Pricing is revenue-based and module-based, tiered by brand size, with no per-seat fees and unlimited seats. Brands can start with individual modules or the full suite, and consolidating cash application, deductions, disputes, and trade into one subscription typically replaces multiple separate tools. Promomash publishes flat month-to-month plans priced by company size. See plans for details.

Confido's team handles the data exports, loading, and tie-outs. TPM migrations typically have historical data loaded for review in 2 to 3 weeks and are fully live, including training, in 4 to 6 weeks. Your team's main job is training, not spreadsheet cleanup.

Brands selling through retailers and distributors that want finance, sales, and operations on one system, especially teams managing high volumes of deductions, trade promotions, and demand planning. Customers range from scaling brands to large enterprises, including Feastables, Serenity Kids, and Cappello's.

Largely, yes. Promomash pairs its software with a heavy managed-service layer: their team codes, validates, and disputes deductions on your behalf, and their own materials stress that software alone is not enough without their people. Confido is software your team runs end-to-end, with automation doing the manual work, a full audit trail, and direct ERP posting, so you own the workflow rather than handing it to an external team.

No. Confido runs the full money-and-trade workflow in one platform (cash application, deductions, auto-dispute filing, trade promotion management, and demand planning) so deductions clear against your own promotions. It is the broader CPG finance and trade platform, not a single-function tool.

By automating the manual parts of the AR cycle in software instead of hiring for them: automated backup retrieval and deduction coding, dispute filing to retailer portals, and cash application posted straight to your ERP (NetSuite, QuickBooks, and others). That lets a lean finance team absorb rising deduction volume without new hires.
