Guidance

What is Guidance?

Guidance is an ERP-style operations platform built specifically for small and mid-size CPG food and beverage brands. Most brands in this space run their operations on a combination of spreadsheets, QuickBooks, and disconnected inventory tools, often paying consultants to hold it all together. Guidance replaces that stack. It connects demand forecasting, MRP, purchasing, inventory, production, COGS, lot traceability, and multi-channel fulfillment in one shared data model. When a supplier raises prices, Guidance automatically recalculates every affected BOM, COGS, and margin across all SKUs and channels. When a new order comes in, it checks inventory, flags shortfalls, and surfaces the right replenishment actions without anyone touching a spreadsheet. Setup happens through a conversational onboarding flow. Guidance asks the right questions about how you make and sell your products, then configures itself to match your operation. No implementation team required. Currently in early access with design partner brands. Built by CPG operators who couldn't find software that handled all of it.
