Bare Bones Selects Adesso’s Flamingo TPE to Optimize Trade Results & Save Trade Management Time

Bare Bones BrothRolling Meadows, IL. December 1, 2022 – We are excited to welcome Barebones Ventures, LLC, a San Diego-based food company and tastemaker of healthy pantry staples for cooking & sipping, to Adesso’s client community. As a leading innovator in the bone broth space, the company offers a full line of nourishing broth products in traditional liquid and instant powder formats.

Being able to analyze promotion effectiveness to enable continual strategic improvement of promotion planning was a key objective of Bare Bones, typically one of the main challenges CPG manufacturers experience when initially managing trade using spreadsheets. The Bare Bones team selected Adesso’s Flamingo TPE solution as it will immediately enable full visibility into their trade spending and significant time savings when settling deductions.  Additionally, having all trade data in the system ultimately leads to powerful analysis, which empowers their team to optimize trade spending for improved results.

Katherine Harvey, Cofounder & CEO at Bare Bones said, “Trade spend in this industry is notoriously difficult to control and leverage effectively, so we’re excited to partner with Adesso, a solution provider that understands the natural products space. I’m confident their tools will enable us to drill down to analyze and understand exactly what we are spending, and where we can improve promotion effectiveness to grow the business.”

“Our Client Effectiveness team is passionate about our client partners’ success, and we have been working closely with the Bare Bones team to guide them through their setup process,” said Claudia Winegar, Sr. Director of Client Effectiveness at Adesso. “We were excited for another rapid setup & assisting them in making a significant change to their business very quickly. That is our mission here.”

Five Emerging Natural Products Companies Among Many Who ‘Get’ the Value of a Trade Solution & Are Taking Action Now

Rolling Meadows, IL. June 9, 2022 – We are extremely proud to announce the addition of five new emerging natural products companies who have joined the Adesso TPE Community!  We welcome Daily Crunch Snacks, Farin’UP USA, Flackers, Lisa’s 1973, and OLYRA Foods – adding to the natural brands we help relax: amazing superfood infused sprouted nuts snacks, quick & easy premium baking and breakfast mixes, delicious nutrient-rich Flaxseed crackers and seed crisps, ultra-clean dressings, as well as organic & nutritious breakfast biscuits.

Although manufacturers typically understand the need to better manage trade spending, the number two expense item on their P&L, they are now beginning to recognize that waiting to act only postpones the year-1 savings, and the opportunity to use trade dollars more strategically to grow their business. 

Flamingo TPE addresses all opportunity areas within trade spending and deductions for emerging CPG companies. With a new setup process that guides the clients through a logical journey, the connection to QuickBooks is quick, and Adesso’s new Setup Wizard takes all the stress out of getting the key information into the solution to be live and gaining value from their investment. Additionally, it enables Adesso’s Client Effectiveness team to work closely with each partner to ensure that each step was successful and that they are ready to proceed with the next. 

“We’ve focused extensively on the natural segment over the last 10 years from a solution and process perspective, and more and more companies understand the importance and urgency to address trade,” said Fred Schroeder, President & CEO at Adesso Solutions. “We look forward to assisting these five new clients and sharing their results with the community.”

To learn more about Flamingo TPE and our thorough, rapid approach for emerging natural products companies, please contact Karin Souren, Director of Marketing, at ksouren@adesso-solutions.com or call 847.342.1095.
