About Our Platform

 

We are building a right-sized operations and compliance platform for small and mid-sized food manufacturers, commissaries, and multi-site fresh-food operators. While “Shrink Manager” is our current working name, shrink management is only one module. The platform now connects production workflows, labeling, compliance records, and financial automation in a streamlined system that is already in use across multiple production sites.

 

Our mission is to give food operators the kind of tools they need to stay organized, grow profitably, and meet today’s rising regulatory and retailer expectations — without the cost or complexity of a traditional ERP.

 

Built Inside a Real Food Operation

 

This platform began as an internal tool inside a fast-growing, multi-site food manufacturer supplying major grocery partners. As the operation scaled, it became clear that the systems available to smaller producers were either:

• too expensive,

• too complex,

• not designed for short shelf-life production, or

• unable to keep up with FSMA’s documentation requirements. 

 

Paper logs slowed everything down, shrink was difficult to track, production records weren’t connected to invoicing, and auditors increasingly expected digital verification. So we built a focused, lightweight platform around the real workflows of a working RTE environment — not a theoretical model. That continues to guide every feature we build.

 

Commercially Deployed, Actively Evolving

 

Today, the platform is:

• commercially deployed across multiple sites,

• generating subscription revenue,

• used daily by production teams, supervisors, and delivery personnel,

• integrated with QuickBooks for automated invoicing,

• electronifying food-safety and production records, and

• supporting shrink tracking, labeling, compliance workflows, and delivery verification.

 

At the same time, the system remains early-stage. We continue refining modules, expanding analytics, and adding new capabilities through feedback from operators in real production environments.

 

Designed for Modern Compliance & Audit Demands

 

Small and mid-sized food companies are now expected to meet the same standards as large manufacturers — particularly under FSMA’s Preventive Controls Rule (21 CFR 117) and retailer audit programs.

 

The platform supports:

• digital production logs

• shrink and waste tracking

• labeling connected to ingredients/allergens

• corrective action documentation

• delivery and transport checks

• record review and verification workflows

• audit-ready data access

 

Auditors consistently praise the clarity, organization, and transparency the system provides.

 

Integrated Labeling: A Natural First Step

 

Many operators begin with labeling because it is the simplest place to start. The platform can generate product labels tied directly to ingredients, allergens, production dates, UPCs, and batch details. This provides immediate operational value and creates a natural foundation for expanding into shrink, production, delivery, and compliance modules.

 

Connecting Operations With Financials

 

One of the biggest gaps in food operations is the disconnect between production and invoicing. The platform closes that gap.

• Production orders feed directly into automated invoicing.

• QuickBooks integration removes manual data entry.

• Cash flow accelerates

• Errors drop

• Accounting labor decreases

•  

This is already running in daily commercial use across multiple sites.

 

Where We’re Going

 

We’re building a platform — not just a shrink tool — and our long-term roadmap includes:

multi-location analytics

• expanded forecasting

• deeper compliance dashboards

• enhanced labeling workflows

• integrated routing and delivery tools

• predictive insights for at-risk SKUs

• more financial automation

• integrations with POS and ordering systems

 

Every step of the roadmap is guided by real operator feedback.

 

Pilot Partners & Investors

 

We are currently welcoming:

 

Pilot Partners

 

Ideal for multi-site manufacturers, commissaries, and prepared-foods operations looking to digitize shrink, labeling, production, delivery, and compliance workflows.

 

Pilot partners receive:

• workflow mapping

• customized onboarding

• direct communication with the product team

• influence on the roadmap

• early-partner pricing

 

Investors

 

We have added a new Investor FAQ and are exploring the potential of bringing on a strategic investor. Capital would accelerate development, expand analytics, strengthen integrations, and support broader commercialization.

 

Our Philosophy

 

Software for food operators should be:

• practical

• affordable

• easy to adopt

• grounded in real workflows

• compliant by design

• flexible enough to grow with the business

• supportive of everyday production realities

 

This platform is built on those principles — and continues to evolve with every new partner we bring on.
