Insight, Agility, and Scalable Growth for Startup CPG Companies

We are a consulting and fractional solutions firm dedicated to helping CPG startups operate their supply chain and operations the MVP way — using the Minimum Viable Product to scale and grow.

Solving Miscommunication and Inventory Mismanagement

  • Miscommunication with vendors and copackers resulting in lost sales

  • Frustration with data management

  • Failure to keep product in stock

  • Lack of inventory management systems and operational processes

  • Lack of communication across departments

  • Lack of visibility into sales and production forecasts

  • Outdated spreadsheets and data due to manual processes

Whether you need your supply chain analytics started from scratch, or a complete overhaul of your operations, we take the frustration out of your day to day process and deliver clean, digestible, and repeatable results.

Small Organizational Tweaks, Big Results

IMPROVE SALES BY KEEPING INVENTORY IN STOCK

CPG Startups are built on flexible sales strategies that mirror customer behavior. If a product gains traction, you need to have the inventory to fulfill exponential sales. We build in incremental raw material ordering processes so that you always keep inventory in stock, without tying up your liquid assets.

MAINTAIN LEAN OPERATIONS BY AUTOMATING REPORTING

As your company grows, it can seem like you need to add bodies to keep up with the ever-growing analytics needs. You simply… don’t. An automated system gives you the data you need, when you need it, with fewer errors. We build everything using your current systems so you don’t have to add any more expensive tech.

IMPROVE LEAD TIMES BY IMPROVING VENDOR RELATIONSHIPS

Two of the most overlooked relationships are those with your 3PL, and those with your copackers. Building good relationships and setting up achievable SLA’s ensures your product is made right, on time, every time. We build trust and strategy into every relationship, so as you grow, their prices do not.

What People Are Saying

  • STEPHEN ADELE Author of Ready, Set, Scale. Founder of Quickbox 3PL, and multiple CPG brands, including BIO-GRO Bio-active Peptides

    “If you're an emerging consumer goods brand, searching for world-class support in supply chain/operational management, I'd suggest you reach out to Caitlin today, because she's not going to be available for long. I don’t recommend a lot of people, but after working with her firsthand at Quickbox 3PL, Caitlin is exceptional (and every one of her previous customers would attest).”

  • JOSH AWAD Co-Founder of Honest Paws, Vets Preferred, and eGateway Capital

    “Caitlin comes with my highest recommendation.  I brought her on at Honest Paws while I was COO, when we were a startup on the cusp of exponential growth. She was a main contributor in setting us up for success and continued innovation. She is extremely knowledgeable, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. I know that she'll go above and beyond your expectations.”

  • SkinnyFit customer

    KENDRA KEATS Former Head of Growth at Skinny Fit and Marie Forleo. Founder of 9Trails and Beyond the 9th

    "As the Head of Growth at Skinny Fit, it was crucial that our products were in stock during our explosive growth. Caitlin inherited a poorly managed supply chain and completely turned it around in a matter of weeks. She listened to our department, collaborated with sales, and kept our products in stock so we could keep selling. She communicated any issues in advance and restored our trust in the ops team. I highly recommend her and her team.”

  • DAREH ZADOORIAN Founder of Holistapet and Cheef Holdings

    “From the first day, MVP Consulting displayed outstanding dedication and expertise in Supply Chain Management, product planning, and forecasting. Their strategic approach and keen analytical skills helped Holistapet resolve longstanding inventory issues. They built a robust forecasting system that transformed our inventory management.”

We’d love to work with you.
