To digitise the sales process and promote growth in LATAM, Kraft Heinz and BEES expand their partnership.

BEES, a B2B e-commerce platform from AB InBev, will help Kraft Heinz advance its emerging markets strategy.

NEW YORK, CHICAGO, AND PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The Kraft Heinz Company (Nasdaq: KHC; “Kraft Heinz” or “the Company”) and BEES today announced an expanded partnership to advance the B2B market. The goal of the partnership is to help the Company expand its presence in Mexico, Colombia, and Peru by opening up 1 million potential new points of sale across LATAM. The new LATAM agreement is intended to act as a catalyst, raising points of distribution and increasing the number of products accessible to retailers in the area, to help Kraft Heinz realise its Emerging Markets strategy.

BEES is an e-commerce platform developed by AB InBev in 2019 that speeds up retailers’ digital journeys throughout AB InBev’s extensive worldwide footprint and distribution network. Business owners can browse products, place orders, receive rewards in relevant markets, schedule deliveries, manage invoices, and access business insights all in one spot thanks to best-in-class technology. BEES has lately welcomed other CPG businesses to list their products within its marketplace. BEES was initially developed as an internal solution for AB InBev. Since its launch, BEES has experienced rapid growth, expanding to 20 nations, 3.1 million active users each month, and more than 32 billion USD in gross merchandise value.

“Emerging Markets are essential to our growth plan, and to advance this, we’re relying on wise partnerships and wise investments. BEES is the ideal partner because it gives us access to AB InBev’s distribution network’s dependability and credibility, particularly in nations where we have significant growth potential, while also enabling us to tailor our strategy market-by-market to meet the needs of local retailers, according to Rafa Oliveira, EVP and President, International Markets, The Kraft Heinz Company. We need to use technology to boost the effectiveness of our sales team in places like Mexico, and we think BEES is positioned to change the game for us.

Through this collaboration, BEES will give businesses in the area—grocery store chains, restaurants, and small “mom and pop” stores—the ability to browse, order, and stock a variety of Kraft Heinz products at the touch of a button, giving the company access to retailers it had not previously served.

Nick Caton, Chief B2B Officer, AB InBev, said, “We’re delighted to welcome Kraft Heinz to the BEES marketplace to not only expand their presence and performance in Latin America but to better the lives of retailers in those countries as well. “The collaboration will make it simpler than ever for store owners to purchase what they need by bringing great brands like Kraft® Mac & Cheese and Heinz® Tomato Ketchup to the BEES marketplace. Together, we’re accelerating the digital transformation and fostering the success of neighbourhood companies.

The businesses intend to expand into Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Panama, and other LATAM nations after the initial pilots in Colombia, Peru, and Mexico.
