From Chaos to Control: Streamlining Financials & Inventory for a National Food Manufacturer

Client: FF — National Food Manufacturer

Industry: Food Manufacturing | Wholesale & Export (US/NZ)

Systems: MYOB → Xero Conversion | WooCommerce | ShipStation

The Challenge

  • Manual PDF invoicing and double data entry across MYOB and Xero

  • Payroll split between systems, causing reconciliation gaps

  • No structured inventory management or retailer claim tracking

  • Disorganised supply chain workflow and untrained staff

  • Frequent cashflow shortages and delayed supplier payments

Our Solution

  • System Cleanup & Xero Conversion: Rebuilt the company’s financial foundation in Xero — cleaning payroll, MYOB legacy data, and creating structured invoice and payment workflows.

  • Inventory Management Setup: Introduced Xero Inventory with mapped sales and COGS accounts, monthly stock reconciliation, and identified the need for an integrated inventory platform.

  • Cash Flow Strategy: Built a rolling cashflow model tied to supplier payments and production cycles.

  • eCommerce Integration: Integrated WooCommerce and ShipStation with Xero for seamless order processing, freight, and warehouse dispatch.

  • Retailer Claims Reconciliation: Developed a claims reconciliation system for Coles and Woolworths with a dispute-tracking workflow.

The Result

  • Fully integrated cloud-based financial system

  • Structured monthly inventory and cashflow visibility

  • Improved collaboration across supply chain and finance teams

  • Reliable P&L and SKU-based profitability reporting
