End-to-End Trade Fund Collaboration

Automate trade fund workflows from deal submission through reconciliation with a purpose-built collaboration platform trusted by retailers and their entire supplier ecosystem. Gain real-time visibility, improve accuracy, and ensure no deal is ever missed.

Bring Control to Trade Fund Complexity

Trade fund collaboration is one of the most operationally complex and financially critical processes in retail. Teams must manage thousands of deals across suppliers, brokers, and distributors while ensuring accuracy, speed, and compliance.

Fragmented tools and manual workflows introduce risk, slow execution, and obscure true trade fund performance.
