A library of white papers covering FSMA 204 implementation, execution-layer software evaluation, ERP limitations at the production floor, operational intelligence, and the origin of Shrink Software itself. Each paper is free to download, written from operator experience, and designed to be used as a planning document — not vendor marketing.
A practical implementation framework with a 24-month timeline, an operational readiness self-assessment scorecard, the buyer pressure landscape from Sysco, Walmart, Kroger, and Compass, and a 90-day starter project. The foundational document.
Why multi-site institutional operations consistently lose 5 to 15 percent of margin to shrink they cannot see, and what operational visibility produces in terms of measurable savings. The financial case for execution-layer software.
A vendor-neutral framework for selecting FSMA 204 software. Twelve evaluation criteria, the four software categories competing for your budget, eight diagnostic questions to ask vendor demos, and the honest budget conversation most vendors won't have with you.
A structural argument for why NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, and Acumatica cannot capture what FSMA 204 actually requires — and what the right alternative architecture looks like. For teams currently debating whether to extend an existing ERP.
A reference document for foodservice distributor account managers explaining FSMA 204 to their accounts. Buyer pressure landscape, customer diagnostic, and how to position the solution conversation without overstepping into vendor recommendation.
Why a focused operational wedge becomes a category-defining platform when it sits at the highest-frequency event in an industry. The structural parallel between Toast Inc. (restaurants, 2013–2024) and Shrink Software (institutional food, 2026–) and what it means for investors and operators.
An origin story written by the team that lived the problem before they built the product. How an $80,000 NetSuite implementation at Anu Sushi LLC revealed the limits of ERP-based traceability — and what the operators built afterward that the available software could not provide.
The 30-minute conversation is the easiest first step. We walk through your specific operational situation and identify where Shrink Manager fits — or, sometimes, where it doesn't. No sales pitch.
