The Operating System for Fresh-Food Production

Shrink Manager™ digitizes production, QA, labeling, traceability, delivery verification, and shrink intelligence — built specifically for mid-market fresh-food and fresh-produce manufacturers.

Fresh-food production is too dynamic for spreadsheets and too operationally complex for ERPs. Shrink Manager brings forecasting, sequencing, labeling, and compliance into one multilingual platform that standardizes daily operations across all locations.

Production Workflows

Digitize and standardize every step of daily production. Shrink Manager sequences tasks, guides operators, eliminates manual errors, and unifies workflows across all kitchens.

Shrink Intelligence

Capture, analyze, and reduce shrink with SKU-level modeling and trend visibility. Identify preventable losses and continuously improve product mix and production planning.

FDA Compliant Labeling

Automatically generate accurate ingredient statements, allergens, pricing, lot details, prep dates, and use-by rules — printed in seconds through lab-tested workflows.

Delivery & QA Verification

Digitally verify outbound deliveries, track exceptions in real time, and maintain defensible food-safety records. Multi-language support ensures team-wide adoption.

Shrink Manager™ is the first workflow-native platform built for mid-market fresh-food and fresh-produce manufacturers.

 

Digitize production, QA, labeling, traceability, delivery verification, and shrink intelligence into one multilingual system proven across 11 commercial sites over 2+ years.

Fresh-food production is too dynamic for spreadsheets and too operationally chaotic for ERPs. Shrink Manager standardizes daily production workflows across all locations — reducing errors, shrink, and manual labor.

Now welcoming additional pilot partners and early investor conversations.

SHRINK THE COMPLEXITY

GROW YOUR OPERATION

Shrink the complexity. Grow your operation.

 

Shrink Manager began as an internal tool for a fast-growing food operation and is now in early-stage commercial deployment. With 2+ years of real-world use, it has evolved into a scalable operational platform for small and mid-sized fresh-food producers.

Unlike office-centric ERPs, Shrink Manager is built for front-line teams — providing a workflow-first system for shrink intelligence, production sequencing, labeling, delivery verification, and compliance.

Streamline Operations & Financials Together

Fresh-food producers frequently struggle with the disconnect between production activity and back-office workflows. Shrink Manager closes that gap by connecting production logs directly to automated invoicing — eliminating manual errors and reducing accounting labor by 40%+.

This integration is fully deployed and used daily across our 11-site commercial operation.

Features

Fresh-food and fresh-produce manufacturers face rising expectations from FSMA, retailers, and internal audit teams. Shrink Manager provides the essential production-floor tools needed to meet these standards while improving accuracy and operational efficiency across every site.

Proven in real-world multi-site deployment, the platform allows producers to start with core features—such as labeling or shrink intelligence—and expand into production sequencing, delivery verification, and compliance modules over time.

Reduce Shrink & Improve Accuracy

Shrink Manager captures shrink in real time, identifies expiration risks, highlights at-risk SKUs, and provides actionable insights to reduce preventable losses across all sites.

Cloud-Based & Mobile-Friendly

 

Mobile-first workflows let operators log production, shrink, and deliveries from any device. Supervisors have instant visibility for internal verification, FSMA compliance, and audit readiness.

One Platform for Your Team

A comprehensive role-based access system supports operators, supervisors, QA teams, and delivery drivers. Features evolve continuously based on real-world multi-site feedback and partner input.
