How ready are you for the next brand program?

Winning more brand business means showing that you can meet commitments and deliver profitably. Getting orders out on time is hard enough when schedules are complex and every customer brings its own requirements. Growth also asks you to know how your operation measures up.

The Co-Packer’s Benchmark Guide is a practical workbook for co-packers, contract manufacturers and value-added 3PLs. It pairs readiness checklists with tangible next steps and real stories from co-packers running Nulogy Shop Floor. Start with the question that matters most to your team, then work through the answers together.

Inside the Guide

Three parts, built for team discussion

Build confidence in your operation. A five-point readiness checkup, a worked job margin example, and how to keep customer changes connected to the work on the floor.

Turn control into customer value. Following materials through production, what stronger operations made possible for three co-packers, and an exercise for showing a brand how you will deliver.

Build your next step with Nulogy. How Shop Floor plans, runs and closes out co-pack jobs, how AI-assisted planning uses your job history, and where to grow with the Manufacturing Operating System.

What’s Inside

What you will find in the guide

A readiness checkup

Five statements to test against a recent job, from comparing planned and actual labor to retrieving the quality evidence behind a completed job. Pick the one that is hardest to support with evidence and start there.

The math behind job margin

A worked labeling job shows how one extra hour of line downtime adds 20% to planned labor cost on 1,000 cases, and the questions to ask when it happens. The example is illustrative arithmetic, not a customer result.

Real co-pack stories

Prism eLogistics cut recall reporting from up to nine hours to 20 minutes. MSI Express launched two new facilities with key customers in one year. Glowcroft’s customers brought the co-packer into planning earlier.
