Benefits

Making it easier for CPG Brands and Distributors

Easy for CPG Founders

Easily onboard with the right Distributor for you

Onboarding with Distributors is time-consuming and laborious. They need large amounts of information about your Brand, your Products, their certifications, production, size, packaging etc. etc. etc.
Distributors used to onboard Brands via email, sending enormous Excel docs to- and fro- until all the information was collected. But that used to take weeks or even months.
goCPG onboards new Brands with Distributors in minutes, not months.

FAQ

How does this work?
Our AI Experts gather information on your Brand and Products from around the internet and from your website. They then quickly interview you to confirm this information and gather any more details that may be missing.
Based upon this the AI Expert can make a recommendation to the Store about whether they should consider stocking your product, based upon their current stock, clientele, distributor deliveries and desires.
What are the advantages?
CPG and Food business Founders want to grow their sales, but they're not always prepared to sell into large chains or more specialist stores.
Stores and retail chains are actively looking for great new Products to stock, but they can't easily tell which Products will sell best and whether they're suitable for their Store.
We use AI Experts to understand the Store's needs and the Product potential, to help easily and quickly make a match.
What if my Product isn't suitable?
No problem at all!
There are a ton of great food and CPG Products on the market, and Stores are always looking for new Products to stock.
Your Brand or Product might not be a match for this Store, but we can help you find the perfect Store(s) to sell your Product from!
How do I correct any information that is incorrect?
You can just tell the AI Expert on your interview call - it will update the information to ensure that it's all correct and accurate.
Where does my Brand and Product information come from?
We automatically gather information on your Brand and Product from a variety of sources, including Google search.
The most important source of information is your website - so ensure that you enter this accurately and correctly before your interview.
What if I don't have a website?
That's no problem!
You can tell our AI Expert all about your Brand and Products to ensure that we have all the right information. It might take a few minutes longer though!
