How we approach delivery and evidence outcomes
We do not publish unverified customer figures on industry pages. This is how we make outcomes measurable in an engagement.
Baseline first
We agree the starting measures with you before design, such as line efficiency, service level and trade promotion return.
Delivery in stages
Releases are phased by site and process, so each stage is tested against real operations before the next.
Measured against your targets
Dashboards report the baseline measures from go-live, so benefit is judged on your data.
Examples of Routeget engagements can be discussed in a discovery call, subject to client approval for each reference.

Consumer Products & FMCG Manufacturing: questions buyers ask us
How do you engage with a consumer products & fmcg manufacturing business?
We usually start with a short discovery and a process review of one brand and its pack sizes. From there we propose a phased scope, which can be fixed-scope for defined releases or a time-and-materials team for ongoing improvement.
Can you manage distributor networks?
Distributor stock, schemes and sales are tracked per account.
Do you support co-packers?
Co-packer stock and output are part of the planning view.
Who owns the data and the configuration?
You do. The solution runs in your own environment, and configuration, data models and reports are documented and handed over so your team can maintain them.
How do you approach pricing and timelines?
Pricing and timing follow scope, including the number of brands, pack sizes and distributor channels. We share an estimate after discovery, with assumptions and exclusions stated, and we confirm timelines only after reviewing your landscape.
