Guidance connects your purchasing, production, inventory, and compliance into one unified platform — purpose-built for certified organic food and beverage manufacturers.
Running a certified organic food brand requires tracking data that generic ERP systems were never designed to handle.
Every certified organic operation must demonstrate that the volume of organic product sold matches what was purchased and produced. Spreadsheets cannot do this reliably at scale.
A recall or audit requires you to trace every lot of finished product back to the exact raw material lot it came from — across blended batches and multiple production runs.
Organic premiums, yield loss, and co-packer fees make COGS calculations complex. Most brands don't know their true margin until months after a production run.
Guidance was built inside a certified organic food company — not designed for generic manufacturing and retrofitted for food.
Every purchase, production run, and sale is tracked at the lot level. Your mass balance reconciliation is always current — not a quarterly spreadsheet exercise.
Guidance calculates your true landed cost — including yield loss, organic premiums, and processing fees — so you know your margin before you commit to a production run.
Material Requirements Planning that accounts for organic supplier lead times, seasonal availability, and minimum order quantities — so you're never caught short before a production run.
Supplier certificates, lot genealogy, and transaction records are maintained automatically. When your certifier arrives, your records are already organized and complete.
Guidance is purpose-built for small and mid-size certified organic food and beverage brands that have outgrown spreadsheets and generic tools.
