KeHE’s New & Small Supplier Administrative Allowance Program (AAP) - Luke Abbott

Is KeHE Distributors the kinder and gentler national specialty distributor? KeHE’s New & Small Supplier Administrative Allowance Program (AAP) is a good step in the right direction. I applaud KeHE's leadership! I have long advocated for national distributors to move toward more flat-rate fees. As a quick reminder, our nation's most significant specialty foods distributors generally lose money on selling products to their largest retailers. To be profitable—at the below-cost markups that they give retailers—they must "cost shift" to brands. The regime of a "thousand pinpricks" of deductions was less transparent than it ought to be and was nearly impossible to budget around. The better way is flat rate ongoing distributor OIs that allow for the orderly transfer of margin to distributors in a way that is not opaque.KeHE's new AAP program is a significant step forward for emerging brands. Here's what you need to know in my ad hoc FAQ.
