Supply chain team for CPG brands · Los Angeles
Valence exists because we've seen good brands drown in the work around the work. Get back to working on your brand, not in it.
Getting into Sprouts through Forager Finds was the easy part, we quickly realized staying there was the hard part. Valence took everything off our plate, freight shipping into the DCs, chasing our co-packer and suppliers on dates, keeping track of inventory across every place it sat. We’re a small brand and Valence treated us like its biggest account, and when our review came up we were in stock and ready. The team caught problems before we did, every time.

Every truck, PO and document, live in your portal. Not in a Friday email.
Stockton runs dry before the Sprouts review. I'd send 2 pallets LTL from the Reno 3PL today.
Valence steps in
Valence takes the work around the work, your co-packers, suppliers, inventory, and freight, so you can get back to building the brand. A person picks up any hour, and nothing moves without your OK.
Who we work with
For brands in food, beverage, beauty and beyond, from the founder who still runs ops out of an inbox to the national brand with a planning team, Valence is the team across the hall. We run your co-packers and suppliers, keep inventory straight across every warehouse, and move the freight. A broker gives you a truck. We give you the whole desk, and you keep the final say.

| A person at 2 a.m. | Sometimes | Every time |
| Price before booking | A quote, then surprise accessorials | Itemized, accessorials up front |
| Learns your business | Load by load | From every email, PO and load |
