FIG. 01 · The pain
Modern CPG runs on lean teams and mountains of grunt work.
When sales scale, the work doesn't get easier. Someone's still punching in every PO by hand, cleaning up messy data, and sending each partner the same numbers in a different format. What could your team take on if they weren't drowning in data entry?
