Build the operating system before the workarounds take over.
The first spreadsheet works until it becomes the only system. Sorbetto gives founders a cleaner way to manage purchasing, inventory, production, vendor bills, shipments, and reporting before the business is ready for enterprise ERP.
Three problems that show up early.
They start small. Then they become the operating model.
"I do not know what we have or where it is."
Your 3PL has some. Your CM has some. Your DTC inventory is at another warehouse. You can kind of tell what's on hand by cross-referencing four spreadsheets, but the answer's never current.
Every receipt, build, transfer, and shipment posts to one costed ledger. On-hand by location, by SKU, in seconds. Search a SKU and see every PO it's been on and every shipment it's been part of.
"Month-end COGS takes too much manual work."
Pull shipments from the 3PL. Allocate cost. Cross-reference with what you ordered. Try to remember if landed freight got added. Decide whether to count returns. Email your accountant when it doesn't match QuickBooks.
Drop your 3PL shipment file in. Post the batch with one date picker. COGS by Month report drills Location to Channel to SKU. Stacked-area chart by channel. Done before lunch.
"The business needs cleaner inventory history."
Your spreadsheets don't agree with each other. You don't remember which version of the COGS calc you were using in Q2 last year. Your accountant has a different number from yours. None of this is going to look great to a buyer.
Immutable ledger with date, user, and audit trail on every entry. Inventory valuation report runs off live data. Every cost decision is traceable — including reversals. The diligence questions get easier, not harder.
