Nationally distributed plant-based snack brand scaling manufacturing operations
Nature's Bakery manufactures soft-baked snacks across 201–500 employees, with 24 of the last 30 hires concentrated in manufacturing and operations roles. The tech stack is heavily skewed toward ERP (SAP S/4HANA, Coupa) and industrial automation (Allen-Bradley PLC, SCADA, Siemens, Schneider Electric), with no adopting or replacing signals — suggesting the stack is mature but operationally stretched. Active projects span production-line launches, SAP inventory improvements, and loss-elimination initiatives, aligned with pain points in new-site culture, supplier qualification, and continuous improvement — a typical profile of a brand-driven CPG scaling volume without proportional back-office modernization.
