The independent navigator for CPG brands doing $5M–$100M. No kickbacks, no vendor bias — just implementation plans built by a former operator who knows what actually works.
The CPG tech landscape is exploding. Every category has 3–5 vendors fighting for your budget. Your team needs a trusted, independent guide — someone who's actually used these tools as an operator, not someone who sells them.

Crisp leads on real-time retail data. Bedrock is the AI-native challenger. Byzzer democratizes SPINS for emerging brands.
Vividly wins on UX for mid-market. CPGvision is the budget-friendly Exceedra alternative. Enterprise? Telus or Exceedra.
Crisp’s demand signal repository is the starting point. Fuse and Unioncrate layer on planning and collaboration.
Depends on your field team size. Repsly for DSD-heavy, Shelvspace for shelf intelligence, GoSpotCheck for enterprise.
SupplyPike dominates Walmart/Sam’s deductions. iNymbus offers broader retailer coverage with RPA-style automation.
Tastewise leads on social + menu data for innovation. Spoonshot offers AI-powered trend prediction at a lower price point.
We map your workflows, quantify pain points, and identify which problems are solved by existing tools and which need custom builds. 2–3 weeks, fixed scope.
We evaluate vendors for your specific needs, negotiate terms, and recommend the optimal stack. No affiliate deals — we recommend what’s actually best for you.
We manage the rollout: data migration, integrations, team training. Your team isn’t learning Crisp AND doing their day job.
Ongoing fractional AI leadership. Continuous vendor evaluation, custom builds for gaps, monthly strategy sessions.
Not open-ended consulting. Every engagement has clear deliverables, a timeline, and a fixed price.
