Where to learn more about the Fiddle software
Running a CPG brand is a juggling act: you have to manage employees, sales, inventory, and finances all at once. Many brands, including manufacturers, still use spreadsheets to manage their inventory because most of the accounting software on the market doesn’t actually speak to their needs. The result is a time-consuming process that’s prone to errors.
Ken Ojuka created an easy-to-use software to help one of his friends better manage his company inventory. He later started selling the product to other businesses like CPG brands, who use it to manage raw materials, production runs, sales, purchases, packaging, and finished inventory. With Ken’s software, these brands are keeping up with their stock and avoiding losses.
Ken Ojuka, the Founder and CEO of Fiddle, joins Steve Cleere in this episode of the NexxtLevel Brands Podcast to talk about the inventory software he created to help manufacturers and CPG brands manage their inventory better. Ken also explains how the software helps brands find top suppliers for their inventory, manage their production runs, and better manage their stock levels to avoid stock-outs. Stay tuned.
