Operations
No matter your stage, be it pre-launch or post-launch, we're here to support you every step of the way. From product development and innovation, to supply chain management and logistics; you can count on us to support your production process.
SETUP
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
We can help you with the development of your product every step of the way. From initial development to expanding your existing brand, we work alongside you to help guide you through this process. Our process covers brand standards, label, package design, formula and developing a roll-out plan.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
We will help you with setting up your supply chain by identifying key partners to align with your brand. Our goal is to focus on choosing a partner who will provide the highest quality of product or service, while factoring in the importance of a strong gross margin.
ONGOING SUPPORT
DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS SUPPORT
We can support your brand’s continued innovation, supply chain management, logistics, and overall production process. This support includes, but is not limited to, building out production roll-forward models to ensure proper management of inventory levels.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
For supply chain management, we focus on three areas. First, we help manage supplier relationships, including purchasing through the production process. Second, we build a custom production roll-forward model to manage production needs and to mitigate risk of out of stocks. Third, we help with continued oversight and push to drive improvement in gross margin through ongoing negotiation and management of supply chain costs.
LOGISTICS
We help identify logistics partners tailored to your business needs. From coordinating transportation to warehouse operations, our support extends to all stages of the supply chain, which drives stronger efficiency and quality in your operations.
OTHER SUPPORT
OVERALL PRODUCTION
Overall production is key beyond supply chain management. For brands that outsource, we can help build custom tools and models to ensure your inventory and COGS are recorded accurately and on a timely basis in your general ledger. This allows you to track inventory costs by bottling, and it allows you to monitor your cost trends over time to ensure you are negotiating in a timely manner. For brands that distill, we can identify or build a program to track the distillation process to ensure inventory is recorded at an accurate quantity and cost and to ensure inventory and COGS are recorded in your general ledger accurately.
