Success Case
Kraft Heinz increases sales by 98% in the single-serve packet category in action with distributor
The Kraft Heinz Company is the third-largest food and beverage company in North America and the fifth-largest food and beverage company in the world, with eight $1 billion+ brands. A globally trusted producer of delicious foods and quality products. The Kraft Heinz Company provides high quality, great taste and nutrition for all eating occasions whether at home, in restaurants or on the go.
CHALLENGE
The manufacturer was seeking sales growth and assertiveness with a greater focus on the condiments and single-serve packet categories. At the end of 2022, Ana Paula Oliveira, sales executive, created a quarterly incentive program and invited one of the Heinz distributors in Brazil to work collaboratively, aiming to increase the sales volume and assertiveness of their products.
SOLUTION
Through its visibility solution, connected manufacturer and distributor, presenting relevant data for decision making, Neogrid provides an intuitive service to capture the data goal being sought after.
In the three months of the program, Kraft Heinz and the indirect channel scheduled frequent meetings to closely monitor the insights shown by the tool. “We followed the results every day, sharing the difficulties and seeking solutions to improve performance and achieve the campaign's objectives,” says Maxwell Barbaresco, the distributor's commercial manager.
According to Max, the secret of success was looking at the data in detail: “Kraft analyzed Neogrid's data every day and forwarded accurate information so that we could act on every opportunity”. He adds: “This exchange between manufacturer and distributor through accurate data is fundamental for business success”.
"Taking advantage of a World Cup's year, preparing the quarterly campaign in advance and having a thematic sales incentive, generated great results with a focus on profitability. Having the contribution and engagement of the distributor's team and full support from Neogrid with the necessary information to reach the KPIs was, undoubtedly, a great success,” Ana Paula Oliveira, Heinz Sales Executive.
