Data-driven FMCG distribution for faster market expansion
Ascend helps FMCG brands scale across India by combining distribution access with real-time sales and outlet intelligence.
The Challenge
The FMCG distribution blind spot
Distribution is the growth engine for FMCG, but brands rarely see what happens after the first sale. Ascend makes the invisible visible.
Brands lack visibility into secondary sales.
Distributor data is fragmented and delayed.
GTM decisions are still intuition-driven.
Scaling beyond metros stays inefficient.
Solution

Ascend combines execution with intelligence so brands can expand faster without losing control of their GTM strategy.

Real-time order capture

Outlet-level insights

GTM recommendations
Use proven playbooks for pricing, assortment, and sales execution.
