Consumer Packaged Goods
Clarity that keeps up with demand
In consumer goods, speed and visibility protect margin.
You operate in an environment where every delay affects revenue. Production schedules shift daily, fulfillment partners expect accuracy, and customers measure loyalty by how quickly you respond. The systems you depend on were meant to make this easier, but too often they’ve created friction instead.

The Challenge
Inventory, production, and fulfillment systems don’t always agree.
ERP data tells one story, your warehouse tells another, and your customers see the difference.
You know there’s waste hiding in your process, but after a few expensive “integration” projects, you’ve learned that faster isn’t always better.
You’re ready for real visibility that turns speed into profitability.
The hardest part isn’t knowing you can improve. It’s knowing where to start and how to prove what’s worth doing.

The Plan
Many CPG manufacturers and distributors face this same challenge.
The Language of Business Impact (LoBI) brings financial clarity to technology and process decisions.
We help you separate momentum from impact, identifying where better data and smarter integration drive measurable financial performance.
Clarity begins with evidence. Every engagement follows the same simple path, a roadmap designed to increase visibility and protect profit.
- Start with a QUILT Assessment – Evaluate how well your ERP, inventory, and fulfillment systems support real-time visibility. Identify where data inconsistencies are slowing growth.
- Refine with a Solution Engagement – Quantify the financial impact of those inefficiencies and define which improvements will deliver measurable ROI.
- Sustain with an Impact Advisory Retainer – Keep clarity alive as product lines, partners, and demand evolve.
Every recommendation is built on measurable value. Every step is grounded in evidence before execution.

The Victory
When every system tells the same story, your team stops guessing. You know what’s selling, what’s shipping, and what’s slowing you down. Decisions become faster, confidence grows, and profit follows.
That’s what happens when visibility becomes measurable clarity.

Success Story: How Shurtape Technologies Benefitted from a Long-term Partnership
Client: Shurtape Technologies was weeks away from losing hosting for four national brand websites when The Refinery stepped in with a rapid transition plan to stabilize infrastructure and protect active campaigns. That initial crisis response established trust and evolved into a strategic partnership spanning nearly a decade. Over that time, we guided platform migrations from Magento to Craft CMS, built custom tools for high-volume contest campaigns, and contributed to both weekly tactical execution and annual strategic planning.
Result: The Refinery maintained the institutional knowledge and consistency that allowed Shurtape's marketing organization to move forward with confidence. What began as an urgent fix became a long-term partnership grounded in clarity, continuity, and measurable alignment between technology decisions and brand growth.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes your approach different from traditional integration or IT consulting?
We don’t start by suggesting solutions. We start by proving value. The LoBI framework brings financial discipline to technology decisions, ensuring every action taken has measurable impact and a clear business case.
2. How do I know if our systems are causing waste or lost revenue?
If your team spends time reconciling data between ERP, e-commerce, and fulfillment platforms, there’s hidden inefficiency eroding your margin. The QUILT Assessment exposes where integration gaps or reporting blind spots are costing you profit.
3. Can you work with our existing technology stack?
Yes. Most CPG organizations already have capable systems in place. Our role is to identify where integration or process alignment unlocks greater value from the tools you already own.
4. How quickly will we see measurable improvement?
Within 60 days, most teams have already implemented at least one measurable improvement. Because our recommendations are based on financial value and prioritization, every decision you make is tied to real business outcomes.
Start where clarity begins with the QUILT Assessment.
It’s a low-risk, high-value diagnostic that helps consumer goods manufacturers and distributors gain confidence in how their systems, data, and operations align to support growth and profit.
