CPG manufacturer of allergen-friendly snacks with B Corp certification
Riverside Natural Foods manufactures MadeGood, a line of allergen-friendly snacking products, operating at scale across North America with 501–1,000 employees. The tech stack is anchored in SAP (ERP, IBP, Ariba) and Allen-Bradley / Siemens production controls, alongside AWS and ADP for workforce management — a mix typical of mid-market food manufacturing. Hiring is skewed heavily toward manufacturing and operations roles, with active projects clustered around preventive and predictive maintenance, production efficiency, and line upgrades, signaling operational maturity focused on yield and uptime rather than digital transformation.

Riverside Natural Foods, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Toronto, manufactures and distributes MadeGood snack products under the Riverside Natural Foods umbrella. The company holds B Corporation and Zero Waste certifications and operates across Canada and the United States. The product portfolio targets consumers seeking healthier, allergen-conscious alternatives in the snacking category. Operations are grounded in SAP-managed supply chain and inventory systems, with production controlled via Allen-Bradley and Siemens automation. Primary pain points center on equipment reliability, scrap reduction, forecast accuracy, and On-Time-In-Full (OTIF) performance — typical constraints for mid-scale food manufacturing where raw material variability and line efficiency directly impact margin.
Riverside uses SAP, including S/4HANA, Fiori, Ariba for procurement, and Integrated Business Planning (IBP) for demand forecasting and supply chain coordination.
The company runs Allen-Bradley and Siemens programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and human-machine interfaces (HMIs) for line automation, with TCP/IP and OPC UA for device integration.
