Frequently Asked Questions
What does InfoBATE do?
InfoBATE is a data services company focused on the consumer packaged goods industry. Since 1971, InfoBATE has collected, processed, and analyzed sales data from distributors, manufacturers, brokers, and retailers across the convenience channel — turning raw data into business intelligence that helps clients make better decisions about sales strategy, trade programs, product placement, and market development. InfoBATE is a division of DEBS InfoNet, Inc., headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with operations based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Who does InfoBATE work with?
InfoBATE works with four types of businesses in the consumer packaged goods industry: distributors who supply products to retailers across the United States; manufacturers of CPG products including snacks, beverages, tobacco, candy, and health and beauty; brokers who represent manufacturers across the distribution and retail channel; and retailers including convenience stores, supermarkets, drugstores, and tobacco and liquor stores. InfoBATE’s services are designed to serve all four parties, often simultaneously, since the data generated by one informs the decisions of the others.
How quickly does InfoBATE process and deliver data?
InfoBATE processes data within days of reporting — giving clients access to business insights within a week of the activity period rather than waiting several weeks as is common with alternative approaches. Weekly system updates ensure data is current for business procedures whenever clients need it. This speed advantage is meaningful in the CPG industry where promotional timing, product placement decisions, and trade program management all depend on having current information rather than data that reflects conditions from several weeks ago.
What makes InfoBATE different from other data services companies in the CPG space?
InfoBATE’s focus is exclusively on the consumer packaged goods industry, and the company has been doing this work since 1971. That longevity means the systems and processes are built around the specific data protocols, business relationships, and operational realities of CPG distribution — not adapted from a general-purpose analytics platform. InfoBATE’s close working relationships with distributors and deep knowledge of distributor business systems give it a competitive edge in normalizing and merging data accurately across diverse sources. The platform is accessible on any device and platform, with data updated weekly and available around the clock.
Is InfoBATE's platform accessible on mobile devices?
Yes. InfoBATE’s systems are compatible with every device and platform — PC, tablet, and smartphone — including Apple iOS, Android, and Windows. Data is accessible at any time from any location, including outside of business hours. Security protocols and encryption protect data access on all devices.
