the reality

Thin CPG margin, and a variance report that arrives too late

Promotions, private-label commitments, and SKU proliferation swing volume week to week, and thin CPG margins leave no room for a variance that surfaces at month-end. Every promo and changeover moves labor, yield, and overhead.

Most teams still reconcile it in spreadsheets and shift-start meetings, and learn what it cost only after the period they could have acted on is closed.

what jetson does

Reconcile, dollarize, and explain performance in real time

Reconcile

Numbers you can trust. Jetson pulls labor, production, and cost data from the systems you already run and ties them out automatically, so Finance and Operations work from one set of figures instead of comparing exports.

Dollarize

Variances in dollars. Every gap across labor, yield, scrap, and overhead is translated into margin impact, so site performance is measured in dollars, not just hours or units.

Explain

The story behind the number. Each variance comes with its operational cause: downtime, call-outs, changeovers, overtime, or standards that drifted.

Act in real time

Before it hits the P&L. Margin leakage and overruns surface during the period, while there is still time to act, not at month-end close.

Which consumer goods manufacturers use Jetson?

CPG manufacturers such as West Madison Foods use Jetson to reconcile labor, production, and cost and explain site performance faster. Figures and quotes reflect published customer material.

How does Jetson protect margin on high-SKU, low-margin lines?

It dollarizes the variance on every run, so the cost of a changeover, an overtime call, or a yield miss is visible in margin terms during the period, not buried in units until close.

How does it handle promotional and retail-driven demand?

Jetson reconciles the labor and cost each promotion or retail order actually drove and dollarizes the variance, so a demand swing shows up as a margin figure you can act on, not a surprise at month-end.

Does it work with our ERP and shop-floor systems?

Yes. Jetson connects to the ERP, HRIS, time clocks, and shop-floor systems already in place, reconciling the numbers and feeding real-time financial explanations back.

How long does implementation take?

Jetson provides a dedicated team that gets you live in four weeks, not months, and stays with you as you scale.

Is Jetson secure enough for enterprise deployment?

Jetson is SOC 2 Type II certified, with enterprise-grade security backed by independent audits, regular penetration testing, and security reviews.
