About ANB Canada
ANB is Canada’s leading distributor of Over-The-Counter healthcare and cosmetic products bringing niche global brands into all levels of Canadian retail.
The Canadian OTC market is worth over $40 billion and is a heavily regulated industry. ANB has been helping manufacturers navigate the sector for over 20 years, putting their brands into the hands of a new Canadian consumer market.
The Challenge
After going public, ANB embarked on significant growth. They needed a robust ERP system to support their next business phase. ANB chose Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Flintfox for their digital transformation. They selected Flintfox because of its expertise in Microsoft Dynamics 365 and a proven track record in enabling complex pricing strategies.
Previously, ANB used a proprietary pricing system. This system relied on manual data input to track rebate and co-op programs. Consequently, this led to time-consuming processes and a high risk of human error.
Now, with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the Flintfox intelligent pricing and rebates platform, ANB has updated and centralised its pricing. This change provides immediate data access and visibility. It has eliminated lengthy manual processes and spreadsheet management.
Instead, it has replaced them with precise automation. The new system has enhanced ANB’s visibility of sales, rebates, and co-op programs.
Additionally, the company can now report on sales quickly and simply. New International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) compliance requirements, once a cumbersome task, are now easily managed.
The Solution
ANB needed a solution that offered a complete view of customer pricing and insight into indirect customers purchasing through wholesale. Flintfox enabled ANB to make informed price changes confidently.
As ANB’s sales volumes and rebate programs grew, the resources needed to manage pricing remained the same. The company gained better control over co-op rates and transparency on running programs. This reduced margin leakage and errors.
Tim Moore, COO of ANB Canada, says, “We chose Flintfox because of their deep knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the team’s understanding of our industry and needs. Flintfox’s pricing platform could handle our complex and specific requirements with out-of-the-box functionality ready to address our pain points. I immediately realised Flintfox was the specialist we needed to manage the transition from our legacy system.”
