Five working tools, free. Score your retail readiness, run your distributor margin math, price a distribution launch, and decode the charges on your statement — the numbers buyers and distributors check before they check anything else.
Are you actually ready for shelf?
Ten questions on the fundamentals buyers check first — item data, pricing structure, certifications, velocity proof. Scored out of 100, with the honest next step for where you land.
From your cost to their shelf
Enter your unit cost. See distributor landed cost, wholesale, and shelf price — with margin at every step. Know if your price works before a buyer tells you it doesn't.
The true price of yes
Slotting, free fills, intro promos, deduction reserve — see what a distribution launch actually costs against your first-year revenue. Before you sign, not after.
What is that charge?
Every line item on a distributor statement, decoded — MCBs, shortages, spoils, fill-rate fines. Whether it's valid, disputable, or negotiable, and which documents to pull before you decide.
Do you even need a broker yet?
Seven questions, no email required. Sometimes the answer is "not yet" — and knowing that before you sign anything is worth more than any pitch.
