Real founder consulting instead of dry theory

Katha Figueiredo and Simon Krämer know the operational hurdles in E-Commerce inside out. We do not offer you classic consultant phrases, but honest sparring with real added value. We examine your setup holistically, advise you strategically, and implement exactly the solutions that helped us ourselves. If you want, we can then take over the operational processes completely. That way, you benefit from our combined experience without getting stuck in the operations trap yourself.

Lean management for streamlined, fast processes

Strong growth hurts, especially when the operational structures in the background cannot keep up fast enough. We examine your existing processes and ruthlessly uncover inefficiencies. From the very first production planning and capacity management all the way to quality control. With real lean management, we systematically reduce every form of waste, accelerate your throughput times, and build an agile backend you can rely on 100 percent.

ERP setup and digital processes for smart scaling

Without a clean system in the background, strong growth quickly becomes a nightmare. We advise you independently of brands when selecting and implementing the right ERP software for your start-up. Together, we establish efficient digital processes that minimize sources of error and create automated workflows. This gives you centralized control over your inventory management, production, and fulfillment, while building a scalable backend that effortlessly handles every wave of orders.

Working capital improvement for greater financial freedom

Too much capital tied up in raw materials and finished goods? That is an absolute growth killer for any up-and-coming brand. We analyze your inventory, optimize your ordering cycles, and structure your warehousing so that your working capital improves significantly. We find the perfect balance between delivery capability and lean inventory. The result: you have important cash free again for the things that really push your business, such as new products or entering new markets.

Smarter supply chain development and agency business

An outstanding product needs a reliable foundation. We help you build your supply chains professionally, whether you are just getting started or have outgrown your current setup. Through our strong network and our integrated agency business, we connect you with exactly the production partners that match your requirements. We support manufacturer changes, safeguard quality standards, and ensure that your goods arrive in fulfillment on time and without stress.
