18 brands launched from scratch

We build the system.
You stop fighting fires.

For brands that already sell: we take over procurement, production planning, quality control, and logistics. You see numbers, not chaos.

6-12w

Advance visibility
on all orders

Stockouts or
dead inventory

Sound familiar?

These are the exact conversations we have with founders every week.

We're constantly running out of stock or sitting on dead inventory.

No visibility into what’s coming, when, and how much. Every month is a scramble.

Nobody owns the procurement process. It's just firefighting.

Orders happen last-minute, nobody tracks what’s where, and every decision is reactive.

I'm still managing this in Excel and it breaks every time.

Spreadsheets that are outdated before anyone reads them. No single source of truth.

WHAT YOU GET

A system that runs without constant firefighting

Sales data connected to procurement connected to production. One chain, one team, full visibility.

S&OP: Sales and Operations Planning

Sales data connects to production plan connects to order schedule. Updated bi-weekly based on real sales and inventory. 6 to 12 weeks advance visibility.

Cash flow forecasting

When money goes out, when goods come in, what can be optimized. No surprises.

Inventory management

No "out of stock" and no "sitting for 3 months." Right product, right quantity, right time.

Clear accountability structure

Who owns what. No finger-pointing, no "I thought you were handling that."

Full chain coordination

Factories, 3PL, customs, transport: all managed from one team. No gaps between steps.

Ongoing quality control

Inspection schedule, batch consistency checks, certificate verification. Every shipment.

S&OP: know what to order 6 to 12 weeks ahead

Sales and Operational Planning connects your sales data with procurement and production. The result: weeks before a shipment, you already know what to order, when, and for how much.

Plan updates bi-weekly based on real sales and current inventory. Full visibility. Not a pile of Excel files that expire before anyone reads them.

Why Helix

Why us, not a freelance ops manager

We run operations ourselves

We don't subcontract. 20+ years of experience, 5 languages, 3 regions simultaneously. Your outsourced procurement team.

Accountability for results, not hours

We commit to outcomes: on-time delivery, predictable costs, zero stockouts. If something breaks, we fix it.

Natural continuation from Product Launch

Most clients start with a launch, then move into Supply Chain. It's one continuous process, not two separate projects.

Full visibility, not a black box

You see everything: production timelines, order status, inventory levels, cash flow. No surprises, no guesswork.

The sourcing nightmare that almost killed a product launch

THE PROBLEM

US skincare brand spent 8 months and $40K on three different sourcing agents — none delivered a viable manufacturer. Launch deadline passed. Investors losing patience.

WHAT WE DID

Sourced 12 factories across Guangdong and Zhejiang, audited 4 on-site, negotiated pricing 22% below the client's previous best offer. Managed USDA Organic certification in parallel.

THE RESULT

“We wasted nearly a year and the budget was bleeding. Helix found our manufacturer in 6 weeks and got us to market 3 months later. We should have called them first.”

— Sarah M., Founder & CEO
