In the first ten months of the partnership, Unilever has seen improvements in its sales of slow-moving inventory, by getting larger volumes of slow-moving goods to market faster, with more remaining shelf life.

"We're extremely pleased with the results of our partnership with Spoiler Alert so far," said George Hamilton, SVP, Sales Strategy and Operations at Unilever U.S. "We take great pride in keeping these products in-market and in a way that reinforces our corporate commitments to lowering the climate impacts of our supply chain."

"Unilever's portfolio includes many iconic household brands are incredibly attractive to the value-channel retail market and accompanying consumer base," said Kim McKee, Director of Buyer Engagement at Spoiler Alert. "Helping companies like Unilever redirect their unused inventory to reach more American households is good for business, good for the environment, and ultimately at the core of why Spoiler Alert was founded in the first place."

By taking action on excess inventory with more shelf life and leveraging Spoiler Alert's pricing intelligence, Unilever U.S. is able to more effectively divert valuable product to discount channels that have more flexible merchandising and assortment options.

Key to the success of the partnership was the process of aligning Unilever's discount sales cycles across five different parts of the business - inclusive of grocery, foodservice, professional, international, and discount channels. During the onboarding process, Spoiler Alert and Unilever standardized these discounting processes and cycle times to streamline and maximize efficiency and remove duplicate efforts.
