Pet supply manufacturer with 25 brands across toys, feeding, carriers, and accessories
Petmate operates a diversified portfolio of 25 pet product brands (Chuckit!, Arm & Hammer, JW Pet, Mad Cat, and others) spanning toys, feeders, carriers, and consumables. The tech stack is operations-focused—Oracle Fusion for ERP, EDI for B2B logistics, and design tools (SolidWorks, Arduino, Raspberry Pi)—reflecting a manufacturing and supply-chain business rather than a software or digital-first operation. Active hiring clusters in ops and sales with a decelerating velocity, while projects center on inventory optimization, retail execution (Walmart omni setup, planogram management), and product line roadmap work—consistent with a mid-market consumer manufacturer managing both innovation and operational scale.
