Operator‑grade decisions. Faster.
Technology-enabled financial services for CPG. We overlay your financials on end-to-end operations and simulate impact in real time—no new tools for your team.
What is CREI + Logyc?
CREI provides finance and FP&A services that install the rhythms, models, and accountability that move P&L. Logyc is our technology partner whose simulation platform lets our consultants overlay financials on end‑to‑end operations—procurement → manufacturing → logistics → channels—and simulate impact in real time.
You don’t adopt new software. You contract with CREI. Logyc is our technology partner and appears in your DPA/sub-processor schedule; your data remains yours.
Why it matters (for CPG operators)
- Faster time‑to‑decision: Close integrity, forecast you trust, and scenario answers in weeks—not quarters.
- Trade dollars that actually pay back: GTN waterfall and promo guardrails to redeploy wasted spend.
- Retailer‑ready narrative: Scorecards and payback math buyers expect at line review.
- Diligence‑ready anytime: Clean data trail, cohorts, and unit‑economics story for strategic or financing events.
Outcome focus: We agree baselines and attribution rules up front; success fees are capped.

Outcomes we drive
- Redeploy negative‑ROI trade to profitable promotions and mix.
- Improve contribution margin at SKU/channel level through pack/assortment and price architecture.
- Cut forecast error and shorten time from variance → action.
- Win retail placements with buyer‑aligned scorecards and payback math.
- Be transaction‑ready with cohorts, UE, and diligence Q&A support.
Numbers and references available under NDA during scoping; we keep claims conservative and auditable.
Why this is different
- Traditional advisory: Great talent but spreadsheet‑bound; slow, hard to sustain.
- Software‑only: Dashboards without behavior change.
- CREI + Logyc: Financial services with a simulation partner—we overlay finance on operations and drive weekly decisions that stick.
Real‑time overlay scenarios
- Price/Promo: Adjust a promo or list price by retailer and see GTN, contribution, and service impacts before committing.
- Pack/Format: Change pack size or case configuration; model margin, throughput, and shelf constraints.
- Production/Capacity: Move a run or add a shift; see labor, yield, and OTIF impacts vs. cost.
- Logistics/Freight: Mode or lane changes; quantify landed cost, service level, and cash effects.
- Input Costs: Ingredient shock or FX move; simulate pricing/mix options to defend margin.
