why confido

Products Purpose-Built for Pet Brands

Deduction Management

Shelf-stable pet SKUs generate heavy deduction volume. Brands selling through Petco, PetSmart, Chewy, and mass accounts face co-op advertising deductions, slotting fees, freight claims, spoilage allowances, and more.

Confido matches remittances, categorizes every deduction, and files disputes automatically - all while keeping accruals up to date.

Trade Promotion Management

Pet care brands run frequent promotional events across products at Petco, PetSmart, Chewy, and more.

Confido enables trade spend planning and tracking at the item and account levels, measures promotional lift against POS movement, and keeps trade accruals current so teams are always working from the same numbers.

Retail Analytics

Confido integrates directly with syndicated data sources including SPINS and Nielsen, pulling velocity, market share, and distribution metrics into the platform automatically alongside retailer POS data.

Your team gets current market context built into their planning workflows without manual exports or reconciliation across
systems.

Forecasting, Demand & Supply Planning

Petco replenishes differently than Chewy, and a new protein launch doesn't move the same way at Target as it does at a specialty pet retailer.

Confido builds sales forecasts and demand plans from dynamic inputs, then turns them into a self-updating supply plan that recommends POs against lead times, MOQs, and safety stock, and flags stockouts before they happen.

Deductions and chargebacks can quietly erode margins. Confido gives pet brands real-time visibility into what's been deducted, what's been disputed, and what's been recovered - so cash flow is never a question.

How does Confido support pet brands selling across multiple channels?
