Guidance | CPG Platform
Mocks up a connected COGS, inventory, and MRP system for small food and beverage brands.
Guidance is pitching a single connected data model to replace the spreadsheet-and-Slack scramble small food and beverage brands use today for COGS, lot traceability, multi-channel inventory, and MRP or purchasing. The landing page illustrates this with a real-looking disconnected workflow — a COGS_Master_v3_FINAL.xlsx, a Slack thread asking which spreadsheet is current — set against a target connected one. It states outright that these are conceptual workflow illustrations, not a live product demonstration, and access right now means joining the early-access waitlist.
What holds up
- +States outright that its workflow screens are conceptual illustrations, not a live product demo
- +Targets a specific gap — COGS and lot traceability for SMB food/beverage brands — not general ERP
- +Illustrates the actual problem concretely: one ingredient price change touching COGS, margin, and scheduling
Mind the limits
- −Not live yet — the page explicitly labels its workflows as concept illustrations, nothing to try
- −Early access only, with no pricing or ship date given for the actual platform
