We proactively manage your fulfillment partners, managing SLAs, inventory movements, fulfillment, and unblocking issues - so customers get what they expect, when they expect it, and you save money and headaches by hitting OTIF targets and eliminating chargebacks. Not happy with your 3PL? No problem. Our experts can help you source, analyze, choose and onboard a partner that is a great match for your brand.

Avoid the missteps others have already made. Bravo CPG gives you the ability to afford and plug in a seasoned COO who sets the operational roadmap, drives accountability, and mentors you and your team - so you scale faster with less risk, better margins, and stronger cash flow.

We own freight planning and execution - benchmarking carriers, coordinating domestic and international shipments, and tracking spend/performance - so you can prevent delays and stop margin leakage from avoidable freight costs and fire-drills.
-
We build the operational groundwork behind a successful retail launch - EDI and item setup, 3PL validation, case pack and pallet configuration, and pipe fill - fully owned by operators who have done it before, so you hit your on-shelf date.

System setups and integrations can be a time-suck, yet they are the bedrock of an operation. We help you select and implement the right ops tech stack (IMS/ERP/EDI) and lead the integration - so you get clean data, automated workflows, and real-time visibility into inventory, landed cost, and wholesale execution.
Operations Leadership ✓
A Bravo CPG fractional COO sets your operational roadmap, drives accountability across your team and partners, and mentors/oversees the people running the day-to-day. Retail Launch Guidance builds the operational groundwork behind a new retailer launch, from EDI and item setup to your on-shelf date. Together, these services give a growing brand senior operations leadership, clear priorities, and an accountable plan - without a full-time executive hire.

Planning is where margin is protected or lost. Bravo CPG demand planning and supply planning (aka S&OP) give you a tight 12-month forecast you can produce against with confidence. Production planning and co-packer management keep your manufacturing partners coordinated and accountable, and inventory management keeps the right stock in the right place at the right time. Together, these services replace guesswork and last-minute reactions with a plan your whole operation can follow.

Strategic Guidance
CPG Supply Chain Consulting
Most growing CPG brands do not have a supply chain problem in just one place. A forecast that misses, a co-manufacturer who can’t keep pace, an EDI setup that pushes the team back into spreadsheets, and an ops team stretched past its limits all show up as the same symptoms: stockouts, late production runs, retailer chargebacks, and cash tied up in the wrong inventory. Good CPG supply chain consulting starts by finding where the operation is actually breaking, not where it is loudest, and then deciding what to fix first.
How We Help: Every Bravo CPG supply chain consulting engagement starts with an operational audit. We assess your planning process, co-manufacturer relationships and capacity, systems and tech stack, organizational structure and role clarity, operational KPIs, and SOPs. Then we measure all of it against your growth plans for the next two years. The question isn’t just “what’s broken?” It’s “can this operation support where you’re going, and what has to change first?”
You walk away with three things:
Written audit findings: current state, key gaps, and risks by functional area.
A prioritized 12–18 month operational roadmap: the top 3–5 initiatives, sequenced by urgency, dependencies, and the budget and team bandwidth you actually have.
Organizational design recommendations: role definitions and a suggested hiring sequence, so you know what your team needs before you make your next hire.
Because Bravo CPG is a team of operators, not a traditional consultancy, the roadmap doesn’t have to end with a deck. Brands can keep us on to execute it through our fractional COO support, demand planning and supply planning & Day-To-Day ops services. These are hands-on CPG supply chain services, including retail supply chain management services for CPG brands scaling into wholesale and retail, that move your operation from reactive to proactive. Brands like Bulletproof Coffee, MOSH, and Parks Project rely on Bravo CPG to run operations this way: assessed honestly, prioritized clearly, and executed by a team that stays accountable for the result.

Why Bravo CPG?
Why Bravo CPG?
-
More capability than a solo fractional individual; faster and less costly than a full‑time hire.

We’ve seen the patterns—what works at $1M–$5M looks different at $10M–$30M. We’ve “seen it all” and have the expertise to help you avoid costly mistakes, scale and grow.
-
Not a ticket desk. Your Bravo CPG operators join stand ups, own projects, and drive decisions with you. We are a member of your team!

-
We speak the language (OTIF, ASN, UCC‑128, chargebacks) and know how to keep partners accountable.
-
We optimize for cash conversion, landed margin, and service levels—we know what is important, and we prioritize it.
-
A CPG supply chain consultant reviews how your brand plans, produces, stores, and ships product, then identifies where cost, stockouts, and service failures are coming from. The review covers forecasting, production, inventory, fulfillment partners, freight, and the systems that connect them. At Bravo CPG, consulting goes one step further: after the assessment and a prioritized roadmap, our operators stay embedded with your team to execute the fixes, not just recommend them.
-
Consulting is diagnostic - it assesses your operation and tells you what to fix, in what order. Fractional operations is the ongoing work of fixing and running it: a dedicated, right-sized team that plugs in like in-house staff and owns the day-to-day, from purchase orders and production runs to 3PL performance and freight. Bravo CPG combines both, so the people who find the problems are accountable for solving them.
-
Bravo CPG offers retail order management, production planning and co-packer management, 3PL and FBA management, inventory management, fractional COO support, demand planning and supply planning, shipping and freight management, retail launch guidance, and IMS, ERP, and EDI integrations. Every service is delivered by a dedicated team matched to your stage - an operations manager or associate, a director of operations, and COO-level leadership as needed - and support can scale up as your brand adds retailers, SKUs, or channels.
-
Bravo CPG works with growth-stage CPG brands, typically from $1M to $30M in revenue - brands that have outgrown founder-led operations but are not ready for a full in-house operations team. What a brand needs at $1M–$5M looks different at $10M–$30M, and our playbook - built from working with 225+ growth-stage brands - is matched to your stage, so you get the right expertise at the right level of support.
