Purpose-Built for Small Food Manufacturers

One Platform for Your
Entire Food Operation

Replace the spreadsheet stack. Guidance connects purchasing, production, inventory, COGS, and compliance into one unified system — built for small food manufacturers, not enterprise factories.

The Problem With the Spreadsheet Stack

Most small food manufacturers run their operations across 4–7 disconnected tools. The data never lines up, and the reconciliation never ends.

Inventory

Production

Orders

Email / Sheets

When each system holds a piece of the truth, no one has the full picture. Inventory doesn't match accounting. Production costs don't flow to COGS. Compliance records are scattered across inboxes.

Eight Modules. One Platform.

Every module in Guidance shares the same data model — so a purchase order automatically flows into inventory, production, COGS, and compliance records.

Purchasing

POs, supplier management, receiving, and organic certificate tracking

Inventory

Lot-level tracking across raw materials, WIP, and finished goods

Production

Work orders, BOM management, yield tracking, and production scheduling

COGS & Costing

Real-time landed cost, yield-adjusted COGS, and margin by SKU

MRP

Demand-driven replenishment, production planning, and lead time management

Compliance

Organic mass balance, audit records, and regulatory document management

Sales & Fulfillment

Order management, lot allocation, shipping, and customer records

Traceability

Lot genealogy, recall readiness, and real-time lot location tracking
