Systems Build · Natural Snack Brand
From tribal knowledge to systems-driven growth
The challenge
The production schedule lived in one person’s head, QA depended on who was on the floor, and audit prep consumed weeks every cycle.
What changed
Digital records at point of use, playbooks the whole team runs, and accountability that works without the founder in the room.

The challenge
A capable six-person pharmaceutical team entering food for the first time, with a hard production start date and 17,000 cans a day planned.
What changed
A complete role-based digital QMS built before the first run: a hub for every role and tablet-ready forms live on the floor.

Emergency Rescue · Natural Foods Startup
A make-or-break KeHE delivery, and no co-packer
The challenge
A first shot at national retail shelves, a hard delivery window, and a co-packer that couldn’t deliver.
What changed
An emergency replacement search found a new partner in days and the retail window was met.

Formulation Rescue · Prostasis
The off-flavors nobody else could mask
The challenge
A functional bar with bitter, metallic, and sour off-notes from a complex ingredient blend. Two formulators had already tried and failed.
What changed
A different diagnosis: the off-notes faded fast, so the fix was palate-first formulation instead of brute-force masking. Clean label held.
