Rescue my W/H and Inventory Team
August 28, 2024 3:55 PM
Hello WPO Sisters,
We have grown faster than our Wharehouse and Inventory team could keep up with and so many best practices and processes were lost or dropped as new staff tried to keep up with loading trucks and putting away incoming material.
Any resources or consultants to get back to basics and running smoothly in that one department, which is so critical for a manufacturer like me.
We make baked goods and snacks in Toronto, Canada.
Any ideas are appreciated,
Catherine Glowczewski

Hi Catherine! Unfortunately I don't have best practices to offer as we use a 3PL but I would highly recommend joining the StartupCPG Slack group and asking there (it's free). There are loads of CPG brands doing their own manufacturing and fulfillment in that group. Best of luck!
I HIGHLY recommend Susan Heinlein, Minnesota Chapter 5, and her company, Bamboo Partners. She has done just what you are asking for several companies. If you reach out to me via email at leah@tranquil.group, I'll make an introduction.
