SnoBasics - vol 6 - Distribution Management Overhaul Recap

Summary

We’ve added a lot to SnoBase over the past 12 weeks, below we’re recapping the specific additions to our Distributor Management features.

What’s New in SnoBase

Becoming the solution for Brands to win at wholesale distribution

Inventory Health Check

Replenishment Schedule

Synced Retailer Details

Distributor / Distribution Center Details Data Sync

What

• Inventory Health Check Smart scan of your distributor inventory and sales data telling you where you need to take action
• Synced Retailer Details What retailers are pulling product, how much, from which DC’s
• Replenishment Schedule What you need to ship over the next several weeks to stay in ideal inventory range
• Distributor / Distribution Center Details Data Sync Promotions, Purchase Orders, Product availability all available with one click

How

Either ingesting flat files from existing portals or partnering directly with distributors to create data feeds where they were none before. Using that data to automate common distributor management workflows.

Why

Because managing wholesale distribution has gotten completely out of control in terms of data quality and man hours dedicated. With Shopify for DTC and Faire for drop-shipping, we believe there needs to be something as easy for wholesale distribution.

What We’re Thinking About

Software for CPG has been a rapidly growing space, particularly over the past 5-7 years. I wrote on LinkedIn about what I thought could be a way to drive awareness without overwhelming brands, distributors, retailers and others that could benefit from our community’s advances.

With the rate of progress likely to only increase in 2026 and beyond, we’re planning a demo day style event to build a library of 2 minute pitches now tentatively scheduled for the week of February 23rd !
