# OpsHub

> The system Canadian F&B operators run their week on. Built around your co-packer, your distributors, your warehouses — not around a software vendor's assumptions.

**For Canadian food and beverage brands** running wholesale through distributors, manufacturing through a co-packer, and shipping through 3PLs in two countries. The ones whose operations work despite the tool stack, not because of it.

## The four-tool scramble

Monday morning. A distributor asks if they can still add a pallet to this window's PO.

You open Shopify. You open MarketTime. You log into the Canadian 3PL portal, then the US one. You check the production schedule — which lives in a Google Sheet, or in your head, or in an email from your co-packer six weeks ago.

Twenty minutes later, you have an answer. Maybe.

Multiply that by every distributor question, every funder spec request, every "what's our inventory at the US warehouse" Slack message. That's where your week goes.

*That's not a software problem. That's an operations problem with software symptoms.*

## What we ship

The OpsHub is one system your team runs the operation on:

- **Bill of materials.** Every finished good, semi-finished item, raw material, and piece of packaging — with multi-level cost rollup. You stop guessing what your true COGS is per case.
- **Sales orders, from every source.** Wholesale orders from your B2B platform. DTC orders from your e-comm. Distributor PDFs parsed automatically with AI and validated against your BOM. Manual entries when you need them. One queue.
- **Inventory allocation across warehouses.** FIFO logic, priority lists, US and Canada inventory kept separate the way they actually move. Preview before you apply.
- **MRP and production planning.** Twelve-month rolling forecast pulled from your real sales history, offset against confirmed Ship-Later orders and current inventory. Pallet math built in. POs to your co-packer generated from the plan.
- **QuickBooks-ready exports.** Invoices, tax codes (HST for Canada, exempt for US), tracking, ship dates.

*Not a SaaS subscription you're renting. A system we configure for how you actually run.*

## How the engagement works

We don't sell the OpsHub on day one. We never sell a tool on day one.

### Phase I. Truth Audit — 14 days

We map what's actually happening in your ops, not the SOP version. Where does the data live? What does your team reconstruct manually every week? Which distributor question takes the longest to answer, and why?

**Day 5: you have a written list of your top three money leaks and the order to fix them.** Quick wins get fixed inside the audit window.

*If the audit doesn't surface at least three named, fixable money leaks in fourteen days — the audit fee comes back.*

### Phase II. OpsHub Deployment — 12 weeks

We configure the OpsHub against the real operation. BOM imported and cost-rolled. Sales orders piped in from every source. Allocation logic wired to your warehouses. MRP calibrated to your co-packer's cadence and your distributors' windows.

Your team uses it Monday morning of week three. By week twelve, it's the system your week runs on — and it's held through at least one full co-packer cycle before we step back.

*Built alongside developers using AI-assisted development. What used to require a six-figure dev team ships in weeks at a fraction of the cost.*

### Phase III. Leadership Tail

We transfer ownership and exit. Your team runs the OpsHub. We're available for the windows that matter — the next co-packer PO, the first US distributor onboarding, the first audit — but we're not in the room every day.

## How we're different

We're not competing with Odoo. We're competing with the fact that nobody has time to implement Odoo.

Most Canadian F&B operators evaluating ops infrastructure look at Odoo, Cin7, Katana, or NetSuite. Those are real tools. They're also software licenses you have to find a partner for, scope, configure, and shepherd to production over the next nine to eighteen months — while running the operation that needs fixing.

| | Generic ERPs (Odoo, Cin7, Katana, NetSuite) | The OpsHub |
|---|---|---|
| **What you buy** | A software license + implementation hours | An operator + a working system |
| **Who configures it** | You. Or a partner you manage. | We do. Same team audits and builds. |
| **Time to value** | 9–18 months typical | 12 weeks, held through a co-packer cycle |
| **Domain knowledge** | Generic manufacturing | Canadian F&B, distributor cadence, co-packer windows, cross-border tax — built in |
| **Effort from your team** | Write RFP, vet vendors, document processes, manage implementation | 5 hours in the Truth Audit |
| **Pricing model** | Per-user SaaS forever + implementation | Fixed-scope engagement, owned after handoff |
| **If it doesn't work** | You eat the implementation cost | Truth Audit refunded if no money leaks surface |

*Odoo sells you a tool and walks away. We embed in the operation, build the system, and don't leave until it has held through a full production cycle.*

**An honest note — where the other options actually win:**

- **Odoo or NetSuite** wins if you have an in-house IT or ops lead who wants to own ERP configuration and the budget for a partner implementation.
- **NetSuite** wins at $50M+ where audit committees and SOX-adjacent compliance drive the choice.
- **Cin7** wins for DTC-heavy brands with no co-packer — a different operating shape than ours.
- **Spreadsheets and email** win below $500K revenue, where the founder can hold the operation in their head.

## Proof

We built this for a Canadian snack-food brand running one production PO every quarter across local DTC, a Canadian wholesale distributor, and a US wholesale distributor. Co-packer cadence locked to a ten-week rhythm. Multi-warehouse allocation. AI-parsed PDF orders. Their team now answers distributor questions in seconds instead of hours.

*Reference call available after fit is established.*

## Who this is for

- You ship through at least one wholesale distributor
- You manufacture through a co-packer (yours or shared)
- You operate across two warehouses, or one warehouse and one cross-border lane
- You're past founder-only ops and into "the team needs a system" territory

## Who this isn't for

- DTC-only operators with no wholesale channel
- Pre-revenue brands without a co-packer relationship
- Anyone looking for a SaaS license, not an embedded engagement

*We're not the cheapest option. We're the option that ships a working system instead of a deck.*

## What it costs

The Truth Audit is fixed-scope and yours to keep regardless. The OpsHub Deployment is quoted off the audit findings — typical engagements land in the range of a senior ops hire's annual salary, delivered in twelve weeks instead of twelve months.

*If the math doesn't work for your stage, we'll say so on the discovery call.*

## Start with the Truth Audit

We don't quote the OpsHub before we've seen the operation. Fourteen days, fixed price, refundable if we don't surface three money leaks.
