50 AI vendors want your budget. None of them know your P&L.

The independent navigator for CPG brands doing $5M–$100M. No kickbacks, no vendor bias — just implementation plans built by a former operator who knows what actually works.

The Problem

50+ AI platforms for CPG. 8 just for trade promotion. Your team doesn't have time to evaluate them all.

The CPG tech landscape is exploding. Every category has 3–5 vendors fighting for your budget. Your team needs a trusted, independent guide — someone who's actually used these tools as an operator, not someone who sells them.

The CPG AI Landscape

We mapped the tools so you don't have to.

An independent, operator-perspective guide to the AI platforms transforming CPG. No vendor spin. No affiliate links. Just honest evaluations from someone who's actually used this stuff.

Syndicated Data & Analytics

Crisp, Bedrock, Byzzer

Crisp leads on real-time retail data. Bedrock is the AI-native challenger. Byzzer democratizes SPINS for emerging brands.

Trade Promotion Management

Vividly, CPGvision, Telus, Exceedra

Vividly wins on UX for mid-market. CPGvision is the budget-friendly Exceedra alternative. Enterprise? Telus or Exceedra.

Demand Planning & Supply Chain

Crisp, Fuse, Unioncrate

Crisp’s demand signal repository is the starting point. Fuse and Unioncrate layer on planning and collaboration.

Retail Execution

Repsly, Shelvspace, GoSpotCheck

Depends on your field team size. Repsly for DSD-heavy, Shelvspace for shelf intelligence, GoSpotCheck for enterprise.

Deduction Management

SupplyPike, iNymbus

SupplyPike dominates Walmart/Sam’s deductions. iNymbus offers broader retailer coverage with RPA-style automation.

Consumer Intelligence

Tastewise, Spoonshot

Tastewise leads on social + menu data for innovation. Spoonshot offers AI-powered trend prediction at a lower price point.
