International account planning

Commercial planning tools for FMCG and CPG teams working across markets.

APT helps international account teams turn promotion, trade spend, margin and tax assumptions into clearer planning outputs without rebuilding a spreadsheet for every retailer, distributor or customer conversation.

Use cases

Plan the same commercial questions in different markets.

Currency symbols, tax names and customer structures change by country. The core decisions stay familiar: will the promotion pay back, what support is needed, and how does the deal affect margin?

UK and Ireland account planning

Model promotions, retailer margin, VAT assumptions, invoice price and support investment before customer meetings.

US and North American CPG planning

Sense-check promotional ROI, trade spend and customer investment using sales tax and local currency assumptions.

European commercial planning

Use EUR pricing, IVA or VAT-style tax assumptions and clean scenario summaries for distributor and retailer reviews.

Workflow

Start with the commercial question, then localise the assumptions.

Use the ROI planner for promotion decisions, quick calculators for margin and tax checks, and planning tools when the output needs to become a buyer meeting note, account plan or JBP discussion.

Questions

International planning FAQs.

Can APT be used by teams outside the UK?

Yes. APT supports GBP, USD and EUR pricing, and lets teams use sales tax, VAT or IVA assumptions depending on the market they are planning for.

Is this for FMCG and CPG teams?

APT is built around the commercial questions FMCG, CPG, retail supplier and account teams face: promotion ROI, trade spend, margin, support and customer planning.

Does APT replace local finance approval?

No. APT is a planning and scenario tool. Teams should still confirm local tax, pricing, compliance and sign-off requirements with their own business.
