FMCG and consumable product brands need speed, accuracy and operational control. When products move quickly across retailers, ecommerce, warehouses and 3PLs, small data errors can become expensive, leading to stockouts, reconciliation headaches and diminishing margins.
BlueHub helps FMCG brands build connected, automated processes that give sales, operations, warehouse and finance a single source of data they can trust.
FMCG and consumable products move quickly. If replenishment lags or inventory data is unreliable, stockouts will follow leading to lost sales, customer disappointment, and even wasted ad spend.
Food, drink, supplements and wellness brands need visibility of what is about to expire, what’s pending investigation, and which batch is held where, so that every unit can be recalled.
Selling at volume across multiple channels creates reconciliation problems when orders, refunds, credit notes, marketplace payouts, fees and stock deductions don’t align with finance.
Offers, seasonal campaigns or influencer activity can distort normal demand patterns. Without context, promotional volumes can easily be treated as baseline demand, leading to purchase errors and overstocking.
Expired, damaged or returned stock needs to be tracked and reported accurately. If these go unrecorded, margin reporting and COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) is unreliable.
Goods received without Purchase Orders, invoices that don’t match POs, unreconciled FX costs can all potentially create downstream problems for both operations and finance.
BlueHub specialises in configuring Cin7 Core inventory management software and connecting the other systems that FMCG brands already use. For food, drink, supplements and consumable product businesses, that means connecting purchasing, stock control, batch and expiry tracking, fulfilment and finance into a single, reliable system.
That was the reality for the Shropshire fishing bait manufacturer. They were managing stock, purchasing and fulfilment on spreadsheets, and paying for it in errors, stockouts and wasted time. They transformed their operation and saved 50 hours a week.
Marshfield Farm had the product, the customers and 50 years of reputation. Disconnected software, no stock visibility and a lack of traceability were creating real operational risk for this award-winning dairy ice cream manufacturer. BlueHub replaced the patchwork with a single, integrated Cin7 Core operation.
LoveRaw had invested in Cin7 Core but incomplete integrations, gaps in system knowledge and unreliable reporting meant the business wasn’t seeing the operational benefits it needed. BlueHub audited the setup, fixed the integrations, trained the team and provide support. LoveRaw turned an underperforming system into one that works.
We regularly connect Cin7 Core with the platforms and tools that FMCG businesses rely on, including:
