Your Inventory May Be Lying to You. I Fix That.
I help product-based businesses replace spreadsheets with clean, real-time Odoo systems — so you know what you have, what it costs, and what to build next.
- Review of your current inventory + production setup
- Identification of the biggest leaks and bottlenecks
- Clear recommendation on whether Odoo is right for you
- A concrete next-step plan (even if you don't hire me)
If You’re Still Running on Spreadsheets, You’re Flying Blind
Chaos in the Numbers
Inventory lives in disconnected tabs — no single source of truth
Founder Bottleneck
Only one person understands the system, so everything bottlenecks
Guesswork Costs
Costs are calculated after the fact (or not at all)
Case Study: Three Rivers Coffee Company
Wholesale & B2C specialty coffee roaster with private-label production
The Problem
Three Rivers Coffee roasted exceptional coffee, but their operations ran through a maze of Google Sheets only the owner could navigate. Raw goods lived in one tab, packaging in another, finished goods in a third. Inventory accuracy depended on manual updates, and production costs were calculated after the fact — if at all.
Quoting a private-label client meant 45 minutes of digging, copying numbers, and hoping nothing was outdated. When a new employee needed to check stock levels, the owner had to stop what they were doing and explain the system — again.
The company was growing, but operations were held together with duct tape.
Here's the system we built:
The Results
(No more spreadsheet upkeep or reconciliation)
(Live costs and inventory, no manual math)
(No shadow spreadsheets, no owner bottleneck)
The owner went from spending hours buried in spreadsheets to running the business from a live system anyone on the team could use. Inventory was always accurate, costs were always visible, and private-label quotes went out in minutes — not nearly an hour.
With clean inventory and quoting systems in place, Three Rivers was also able to launch a private-label / co-packing page on their website optimized for AI-driven search discovery.
Within the first 30 days, the system supported over $15,000 in private-label quotes sent, without adding manual overhead or breaking operations.

Pricing Tiers
Most clients start with a free Ops Audit, then move into a foundation or manufacturing setup based on complexity.
Tier 1 — Foundation Setup
Get out of spreadsheets and into a system you can trust.
- Full product & SKU database built cleanly from the ground up
- Real-time inventory visibility across products and locations
- Single-stage manufacturing workflows with automatic inventory updates

- Inventory & production dashboards for day-to-day clarity
- Branded quote generator pulling from live data
Who it's for:
Product-based businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets and need a reliable, understandable system to manage inventory and basic production — without overbuilding.
Tier 2 — Manufacturing Suite
A production system that scales with your business — not against it.
- Everything in the Foundation Setup, plus:
- Multi-stage manufacturing operations that mirror your real workflow
- Labor costing and real-time cost-of-goods during production
- Automated replenishment rules for materials and production planning
- Sales and quoting workflows for wholesale and private-label clients
Who it's for:
Growing CPG brands with multiple SKUs, more complex production, private-label or co-packing work, or the need for accurate costing and planning before scaling further.
Tier 3 — Ops Partner Retainer

- Continuous optimization of inventory, manufacturing, and sales workflows
Who it's for:
Teams that want someone thinking about systems, automation, and process improvements — so founders and operators can focus on growth instead of maintaining infrastructure.
Built for Founders Running Real Operations
You don't need another tool.
You need a system that actually reflects how your business works.
This work is a good fit if:
- You built a great product — and now operations are stealing your time
- Inventory and costs live in spreadsheets you don't fully trust
- Quoting, planning, or scaling feels harder than it should
- You need clarity before growth creates expensive mistakes
I don't work with early ideas or "maybe someday" projects.
I work with founders who already have real products, real orders, and real complexity — and want systems that can keep up.
About Me
Hi, I'm Ian Humphrey. I'm an operations systems consultant who builds and runs real-world inventory and manufacturing systems.
I've spent years designing and operating Odoo-based systems for product companies with real complexity: multi-warehouse inventory, multi-stage manufacturing, private-label production, and tight margins. Most recently, I served as Systems Director for a multi-million-dollar functional mushroom brand selling into Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Central Market, where I rebuilt the company's operational backbone from the ground up.
My work is hands-on and pragmatic. I don't sell software or drop off documentation — I design systems that teams actually use, reflect how production really happens, and hold up under growth. When something doesn't map cleanly to reality, I fix the system instead of forcing the business to bend around it.
I work best with founders who already have real products, real orders, and real operational pressure — and want clarity before growth creates expensive mistakes.
What Working Together Looks Like
I work in focused, outcome-driven engagements — not open-ended consulting or long discovery cycles.
We start with a free Ops Audit to understand your current system, constraints, and goals. If we move forward, the work is scoped clearly, built around your real workflow, and delivered in weeks — not months.
I don't sell generic setups or force businesses into rigid templates. If something doesn't reflect how your operation actually runs, we adjust the system — not your business.
This work is best suited for teams with live products and real operational complexity. If you're still validating an idea or looking for a lightweight tool, I'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.
Ready to Clean Up Your System?
If your inventory, production, or quoting systems feel harder than they should, the fastest way forward is a focused operations audit.
We'll look at how your business actually runs today, identify the biggest sources of friction, and map out what it would take to replace spreadsheet guesswork with a system you can trust.
