Turnkey Procurement

Issue one PO to us, and we orchestrate your entire supply chain

The vast majority of our brand partners choose to issue "turn-key" finished goods purchase orders directly to us. We then manage procurement for the entire supply chain and invoice our brand partners for finished goods. This approach dramatically simplifies your operations and allows you to focus on what you do best—building your brand and driving sales.

Instead of juggling multiple vendor relationships, purchase orders, invoices, and quality assurance processes, you have one trusted partner coordinating everything. We handle all procurement activities, quality control, production scheduling, and delivery coordination—providing you with retail-ready finished goods on your timeline.

Turnkey Services Include:

  • Single Point of Contact: One PO to CalNutri covers your entire supply chain
  • Vendor Management: We coordinate with all suppliers and manufacturers on your behalf
  • Quality Control: Comprehensive QC checks at every stage of production

Inventory & Demand Planning

Data-driven inventory management aligned with your growth trajectory

Inventory management and demand planning can be daunting tasks for an emerging brand. Too much inventory ties up capital and risks expiration; too little leads to stockouts and lost sales. We work closely with our brand partners to ensure inventory levels are efficiently managed based on sales velocity and scheduled marketing campaigns.

Our data-driven approach analyzes your historical sales patterns, seasonal trends, marketing calendar, and growth projections to optimize your inventory levels. We help you maintain the right balance—ensuring you have sufficient stock to meet demand while minimizing carrying costs and waste.

Planning Capabilities:

  • Demand Forecasting: Predictive analysis based on sales velocity and market trends
  • Campaign Planning: Inventory alignment with promotional and marketing campaigns
  • Safety Stock Management: Buffer inventory to prevent stockouts during demand spikes
  • Shelf-Life Optimization: Rotation strategies to minimize waste and expiration
  • Reorder Point Calculation: Automated triggers for timely production runs
  • Multi-Channel Coordination: Balanced inventory across retail, DTC, and wholesale channels
  • Seasonal Planning: Proactive preparation for peak selling seasons

Contract Manufacturing

Expert oversight from former contract manufacturing owners and operators

As former owners and operators of internationally certified contract manufacturing companies, we "speak their language." Just because a contract manufacturer says they can manufacture your product does not mean they are the best fit for all of your needs. There are several variables that come into play when partnering with a contract manufacturer.

Our team works closely with the contract manufacturer managing every aspect of your product manufacturing, from small batch trial production to large commercial scale. We ensure quality standards are met, timelines are adhered to, and your specifications are followed precisely—serving as your eyes and ears on the production floor.

Manufacturing Oversight:

  • Manufacturer Selection: Matching your product to the optimal manufacturing partner
  • Capability Assessment: Evaluating equipment, certifications, and capacity
  • Trial Batch Coordination: Managing pilot runs and formulation adjustments
  • Production Scheduling: Timeline management and capacity planning
  • Quality Oversight: In-process checks and finished product verification
  • Batch Documentation: Complete manufacturing records and COAs
  • Scale-Up Management: Smooth transition from trial to commercial production
