Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) for Outsourcing

Bringing strategic clarity, confidence, and control to fast-growing CPG brands.

The world of consumer-packaged goods is continuously evolving, driven by the complex business model behind the tangible products we use every day. If you have a successful product with growing demand, you need strategic support to prepare for your next stage of growth.

Our team, with years of industry experience, can help you scale your business. We work with your team to fill gaps, train staff, and provide fractional support until you’re ready for full-time hires.

Strategic Support to Grow Your Brand

As CPG companies grow, it’s easy to get lost in the details, and each revenue channel has its own kind of challenges. Ecommerce brands need to track everything from shipping fees and sales tax to returns and discounts. Brands in retail deal with distribution challenges and “trade spend,” the discounts and coupons from retailers, that disrupt cash flow. Demand planning and inventory control are key as excess inventory can tie up your capital for months.

Without a clear understanding of these factors, it’s hard to get a full picture of your true profitability.

We analyze the profitability of each sales channel — whether you’re on Amazon, your own website, or in a department store. Our support extends through every stage of your business.

Strategic Forecasting and Budgeting

We build dynamic, data-driven forecasts and budgets that align with business goals and support long-term planning.

KPI Development and Performance Management

We help you in identifying the right metrics and setting up reporting systems to monitor progress and drive accountability, including tech stack recommendations across payment portals, cloud accounting, and eCommerce platforms.

Inventory Management, Inventory Forecasting, and Cost Accounting

Managing inventory is crucial for cash flow. We can help you set optimal inventory levels, understand tariff impacts, and maintain accurate costs. Our reporting gives clear visibility into inventory and demand, helping you prevent surprises. We also streamline accounting, track expirations, and support SKU rationalization to fix inventory issues.

Trade Spend Support

We can help you prepare for the potential impact on your cash flow while you wait for the retailer to report these discounts.

Direct to Consumer (DTC) Assistance

We can help you navigate e-commerce platforms like Shopify to understand the inner workings of your business. We’ll analyze your shipping fees, sales tax, returns, and discounts so you have a complete picture of your profitability.
