Frozen baked goods manufacturer scaling production and new product launches
MBC manufactures frozen baked goods for retail and foodservice channels. The tech stack—NetSuite, Smartsheet, Monday.com, Power BI, CMMS, and PLC systems—reflects a manufacturing-operations-first org managing inventory, scheduling, and equipment. Hiring velocity is decelerating across a flat org (20 open roles, 4 posted in 30 days), with manufacturing and R&D each accounting for 4 roles; pain points cluster around supply-chain fragmentation (component availability, inventory accuracy) and operational efficiency (scheduling, equipment downtime), suggesting they're hitting scaling constraints before automation payoff.
