Consumer Products

Consumer product brands run on supply chain data that has to move accurately between sourcing, inventory, fulfillment, and sales systems.

When landed costs, retailer compliance requirements, and 3PL inventory visibility don’t connect to the same operational picture, the back office ends up reconciling data between systems that should be sharing it automatically. 

Caravel has completed technology engagements for hundreds of consumer products organizations, with EDI, 3PL, and omnichannel order management at the center of every engagement. Our work spans D2C brands, regional importers, and global distributors managing complex supply chain networks. 

• Supply chain visibility: Inbound shipments, multi-location inventory, and 3PL operations visible in real time, with integration logic connecting lead times, reorder points, and landed cost data 
• Omnichannel order management: Wholesale, retail, and D2C orders running through separate systems create fulfillment gaps and inventory discrepancies that grow with channel volume 
• Landed cost tracking: Tariffs, duties, freight, and customs fees allocated accurately to inventory cost, with multi-currency support for global sourcing 

• Retailer compliance and EDI: Major retail partners require EDI-compliant purchase orders, advance shipping notices, and invoices, configured to run without manual intervention 
• CRM & customer relationship: Retailer relationships, distributor accounts, and D2C customer data living outside the financial system creates gaps between sales and supply chain operations 
• 3PL integration: Inventory levels, order status, and fulfillment data synchronized between the 3PL system and the financial system without manual reconciliation
