Guidance learns how you make and sell your products through a simple conversation, then configures itself to match your operations. Real-time lot traceability, true margins, and organic compliance, from day one, even if your data is messy.
Why Guidance
Traditional ERPs force you to change how you work. Guidance starts with the math of your operations and adapts to your unique supply chain.
Legacy software requires expensive consultants to map your business into rigid tables. Guidance replaces the consultant with a structured conversation. It asks about your warehouses, co-packers, and suppliers, then automatically configures the system to match your reality.
Traditional ERPs break if a single field is empty. Guidance is built for the reality of SMBs. If you don't know your exact freight cost, the system applies an industry benchmark to give you a provisional landed cost immediately, clearly flagging what needs to be refined later.
Guidance isn't just a passive database. It monitors your operational data against your signed co-packer and supplier agreements. When an invoice deviates from the contracted terms, the system flags it instantly, no manual reconciliation needed.
Built by Operators
“We source certified organic fruit internationally, process it through co-manufacturers, and sell through retail and ecommerce. We couldn’t find software that connected all of it: supplier traceability, co-packing costs, organic mass balance, and real COGS, without requiring a massive implementation team. So we built it. Guidance is what we run Claros Farm on today.”
