Description
Spoiler Alert is a business-to-business (B2B) sales software solution through which food and beverage companies can sell surplus or distressed inventory. The software automates and digitalizes the process by connecting food and beverage manufacturers with discount retailers and non-profit organizations for the sale or donation of inventory.
Technology
The technology used is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution. As Spoiler Alert handles large amounts of client data on a recurrent basis, it needs a secure, reliable, time-efficient, long-term storage solution for clients to upload and transfer data.
Target
The main target users are food and beverage companies and consumers. In 2024, the company reported involvement in the inventory management of over 300 manufacturing plants and distribution centres across the United States, with a customer base that included Campbell Soup, Danone North America, Mondelēz International, Nestlé, Kraft Heinz, HelloFresh, KeHE Distributors and Johnsonville, among others.
Business model
The pricing model is based on a subscription fee for the SaaS platform, while volume-based fees are applied based on sales made through the platform.
Impact
Spoiler Alert, since its launch in 2015, has been pursuing its mission to reduce waste through technology. In 2019 the company shifted focus to aid CPG manufacturers in selling obsolete and slow-moving inventory on the discount market. The company currently supports the excess inventory management of manufacturing plants and distribution centres across the United States.
