The way suppliers and buyers prefer to collaborate
We remove the friction from discounting. With Spoiler Alert, suppliers use online tools to communicate inventory and process sales more quickly and easily. Buyers continue to work straight out of their inboxes and through spreadsheets - without any disruption to their existing workflows.

Combine inventory data from different systems for a holistic view of saleable inventory. With simple and secure uploads, teams can eliminate bottlenecks and consistently manage excess, slow moving, and discontinued inventory from across your business.
COMMUNICATE
Curate and control who has access to inventory, while remaining flexible and fast. With filters, distribution lists, pricing levers, and logistics calculators, teams can create custom offerings for specific customers or sales channels, with all the necessary information to drive sales and save time.

The way suppliers and buyers prefer to collaborate
At Kraft Heinz, food waste mitigation is a top priority. Our goal is to deliver more product into the hands of consumers through our value-channel retailers that specialize in opportunistic purchasing. Spoiler Alert lets us take these efforts to new heights, enabling our team to be better partners with our key retail customers and more rapidly respond to fluctuations in supply.
The lists from the vendors that use Spoiler Alert are organized and accurate with all the information we need to work a deal quickly. This is instrumental, as products can have a very short shelf life. Having accurate, precise data shortens the negotiation time and is very efficient. Saves everyone time and dollars at the end of the day.
