Direct-to-consumer fresh pet food subscription, B Corp certified
Butternut Box manufactures and ships fresh dog food direct to consumers via subscription. The stack is heavy on ERP (SAP Business One) and analytics (dbt, Looker, SQL) paired with consumer-marketing tools (Instagram, TikTok, Meta), reflecting a supply-chain and DTC operation at scale. Hiring is tilted toward sales (5 roles) and marketing (3), with active projects spanning regional team expansion, new telesales channels, and German brand-ambassador recruitment—signaling aggressive geographic growth. Internal friction centers on financial accuracy and stock-level discrepancies, suggesting operational scaling challenges amid rapid revenue expansion.

Founded in 2016 and B Corp certified, the company operates from London with a 501–1,000-person workforce spread across the UK, Netherlands, Czechia, Germany, and Peru.

Operations depend heavily on SAP Business One for supply-chain and financial management, with data infrastructure (dbt, Looker, SQL) supporting reporting and analysis. Current focus is scaling sales teams regionally, improving month-end financial reporting accuracy, and launching telesales channels.
