We build and run the ops infrastructure growing businesses need when spreadsheets stop working and enterprise software is too much. Inventory visibility, demand planning, sales analytics, and automated reporting -- live in weeks, not months.
Built for any business carrying inventory, managing suppliers, or scaling across channels. $1M to $25M.

The businesses we are built for
The Problem
Most growing businesses are not losing money because of bad products or weak sales. They are losing it to six operational traps that compound quietly until they become a crisis.
You hire ops staff before building the systems they would run. Now you are paying a salary for someone managing spreadsheets.
Without reliable demand signals, you over-order to feel safe. Cash sits on shelves instead of working for you.
Reorder points live in someone’s head. You miss the signal, stock runs out, and revenue walks out the door.
You are paying for four tools that overlap, none of them talk to each other, and nobody trusts the data coming out of any of them.
You scaled into a channel without clean margin data. Now you are doing the volume but losing on the unit.
Purchase orders, supplier lead times, and cash timing are all tracked separately. Something always surprises you.
The Real Cost of Doing Nothing
Verified 2026 market prices for the tools that do what we do. This is not a worst-case estimate. This is what growing businesses are actually spending every year, forever.

The Numbers
One client. Year one. Here is where the money went and where it came back.
$603K
kept in the business in year one. 11x return.
Deferred hires, freed working capital, recovered revenue, eliminated SaaS waste, and better margins -- all tracked.
How It Works
Most companies buy a full enterprise platform and use three modules. We built Normadz the other way -- modular from the ground up. You choose exactly what you need, nothing more.
The Modules
You do not need all of them on day one. Most clients start with three or four and expand from there.
Reorder logic by SKU, channel, and lead time. No more gut-feel purchasing.
One live view across every location, channel, and warehouse. Updated nightly.
Revenue, margin, and velocity by channel. Know which bets are actually paying off.
PO tracking, supplier lead times, and cash timing all in one place.
Loblaws, Sobeys, Costco, Whole Foods. Their requirements, tracked before they become chargebacks.
Supplier scorecards, lead time tracking, and performance visibility across your full supply base.
No more manual weekly exports. Reports run themselves and land where your team already works.
Flagged when something needs attention. Not a dashboard to check -- a signal to act on.
The processes your team can actually run. Not dependent on one person’s spreadsheet.
A Day on Normadz
We are built to let you work on your business, not in it. Overnight sync, live demand planning, real-time revenue visibility, automated retail compliance. By the time your team starts the day, the work is already done.
The Difference
| Before Normadz | After Normadz |
|---|---|
| Weekly manual exports from every platform | Nightly automated sync, everything in one place |
| Forecasting based on gut feel and last year’s numbers | Reorder logic by SKU, channel, and lead time |
| Shopify, ERP, and spreadsheets all disagree | One operating view your team actually trusts |
| Retail compliance handled reactively, chargebacks happen | Vendor requirements tracked upfront, zero surprises |
| Founder or ops manager chasing answers daily | Team running from dashboards, alerts, and SOPs |
| Cash tied up in overstock, stockouts happening anyway | Demand signals driving every purchasing decision |
Integrations
Shopify, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Fishbowl, Cin7, Unleashed, Google Sheets, Excel, SPS Commerce, warehouse exports, distributor portals, and whatever messy CSVs your team is currently depending on.
If your data lives somewhere, we connect it.
Is This a Fit
You sell physical products across more than one channel
Inventory, purchasing, reporting, or planning still depends on spreadsheets
Your ERP, Shopify, warehouse, and finance data do not line up
You are thinking about ERP or BI software but not sure you are ready
You need better operational control without building a full internal systems team
You are scaling and the current process is already showing cracks
You have no repeatable operational process yet
You are looking for a one-time dashboard with no ongoing support
You want a full ERP replacement
You are not willing to own the process and data discipline on your side
If you are not sure, send us what is going on. We will tell you directly.
Built by Operators
Normadz is built by operators who have run supply chain, inventory, retail, wholesale, and planning inside growing brands. We built the system we wish more businesses had before they overspent on enterprise tools, hired too early, or made channel bets without clean data.
After helping scale DAVIDsTEA from zero to $250M+ as a founding team member, then leading supply chain at Saje, Canopy Growth, and Pure Sunfarms, Adam spent five years consulting for startups and SMBs in critical growth stages, and that work is what led directly to building Normadz. There is something about the energy and stakes of a company pushing through a critical phase that he finds hard to walk away from, and after making enough expensive mistakes of his own, he is genuinely just here to make sure growing companies do not have to make the same ones.

Soo has implemented POS and inventory systems, led new store openings, and built the kind of operational clarity that turns chaotic multi-channel businesses into ones that run on process instead of gut feel.

What Clients Say
"Before Normadz, we were drowning in spreadsheets trying to track promotions for Loblaws and Sobeys while forecasting for our growing DTC side. It was chaotic and we nearly failed a compliance audit. They came in and built a complete planning and inventory system in just four weeks. The quality is excellent and the insights on demand trends and retailer performance are now giving us a real edge. We skipped a $90K+ ERP and are saving thousands monthly. We love keeping them on retainer -- they’re always willing to help with the system and have no issue letting us pick their brain on broader business decisions. It genuinely feels like having an extra strategic team member guiding us."Food and Beverage Industry -- Founder and CEO
"We used to juggle expiry dates and batch tracking across multiple wholesalers with nothing but manual updates -- always one step away from costly mistakes. Normadz understood the complexity immediately and delivered a rock-solid hybrid solution with impressive speed. The deep operational intelligence they built in has dramatically improved our margins and accuracy. By avoiding a full ERP commitment we saved a fortune upfront, and the quality of what they delivered feels truly enterprise-grade without the bloat."Health and Wellness Supplements -- Director of Operations
"Prior to working with Normadz our EDI filings and retailer portal updates were eating up entire days every week, and we had zero real-time visibility. The speed of implementation was unreal -- full compliance and tracking live in under a month. Their custom approach delivers clear, actionable insights we use every day for compliance and growth decisions. We’re avoiding the heavy ongoing costs of a traditional ERP while the exceptional quality of the setup has made scaling our wholesale and DTC channels far less stressful."Natural Beauty and Personal Care -- Supply Chain Manager
