A passport link
One page per product, with a buyer view, the method and a QR code.
Who it is for
Drinks brands selling to supermarkets, state retailers such as Systembolaget, foodservice and distributors, and anyone holding a questionnaire right now. See what UK supermarkets ask drinks suppliers.
Before the tender
Know what they want. See how you stack up.
Systembolaget and the big UK supermarkets each ask their suppliers for different things. alkatera shows what each one asks, checked at source, and marks where your brand is ready, partly there or missing.
When the questionnaire arrives
Give it to Rosa. The answers come back drafted.
alkatera reads every question and answers each one from the figure your own pages show, with where it came from and how sure it is. What it cannot answer is marked, with what would fill it. Check them, approve them, and download the buyer’s own file, filled in.
Or send instead of typing

What you walk away with
Things you can hold, not promises.
01
Every answer drafted
Each question answered from the figure your own page shows, with where it came from and how sure it is. Nothing is made up: a question with no figure is marked for you.
02
Their file, filled in
For an Excel questionnaire, the answers written into the buyer’s own spreadsheet, their layout untouched, and a note of anything left for you.
03
How you stack up
What Systembolaget and nine UK supermarkets ask their suppliers, checked at source, and where your brand is ready, partly there or missing.
04
Answers you keep
Answers you write once, such as health and safety, are saved and offered again in the next questionnaire.

Questions people ask.
Does alkatera fill in a retailer’s sustainability questionnaire for me?
It drafts the answers and, for an Excel questionnaire, writes them into the buyer’s own file. Every answer comes from your own figures, with its source, and is yours to check before you send it. Word and PDF forms, and online portals, are answered by copying.
What if alkatera does not have the figure a question asks for?
The question is marked “Needs you”, with what would fill it, such as your electricity bills. alkatera never guesses a number. Answers you write yourself can be saved and reused next time.
What do Systembolaget and UK supermarkets ask drinks suppliers?
It differs. Systembolaget requires its supplier code of conduct (amfori BSCI) and recyclable packaging, gives lighter packaging and certifications priority, and invites product footprints through CarbonCloud. UK supermarkets usually ask for your company footprint, product footprints and a reduction target, and several want science-based targets from larger suppliers.
How do I see how my brand stacks up?
Start the free trial. alkatera checks your own data against what each retailer asks and marks every ask ready, partly there or missing, with what to add.
Is this included in the price?
Yes. Every alkatera plan includes the whole platform, from £99 a month (Seed, excluding VAT), with a 30-day free trial.
