Use Cases

Succeed with the right pack type, right price and right placement.

A Fintech brewery client launched a 24-oz can of its signature IPA in convenience stores—it flew off the shelves, driven by grab-and-go demand. But when the brand tried the same format in grocery stores, sales stalled.

Our Competitive Market Analysis tool flagged that grocery shoppers preferred 4‑packs & 6-packs for craft beer. Meanwhile, an emerging grocery craft pale ale in 4‑packs was performing strongly in the channel. With that insight, the client redesigned packaging into 4‑packs for grocery and big‑box stores, secured shelf space, and jumped 31% in unit sales within two quarters.

How Real Sales Metrics Secured Placement

A mid-sized RTD supplier used Fintech’s Competitive Market Analysis tool to benchmark their 4-pack margarita cans against national brands in grocery and big-box stores. The data revealed a velocity of 22 units/store/week, outperforming the category average of 15.

Armed with these insights, the sales team built a compelling retail pitch that secured shelf space in 80+ Southeastern grocery locations. Within one quarter, the brand saw a 42% increase in volume—proving that fact-based selling with real POS data drives faster placement and stronger performance.

Pivoting into RTDs (Ready‑to‑Drink cocktails)

A Fintech client known for its bottled whiskey used our Competitive Market Analysis tool to spot a spike in vodka RTD spritz sales in select urban convenience channels. The data highlighted rising demand for slim-can RTDs, especially in southeastern geographical regions.

With this insight, the supplier launched a whiskey-based spritz in a ready-to-drink slim can format and pitched it with confidence to convenience chains. The result: rapid buyer acceptance, premium shelf placement, and a new RTD product line that opened an entirely new revenue stream and increased profit margins.
