Who do you work with?

We work with a wide range of companies - from scrappy startups to established brands - who are building or refining their operations. Most of our clients are in the consumer goods space, but we’ve supported businesses across different industries.
 

What types of projects do you take on?

A few examples:

• Inventory and demand planning improvements

• 3PL selection or transitions

• Co-manufacturer onboarding

• Order-to-cash and supply process mapping

• Forecast model builds

• Supply chain audits and performance reviews

• Vendor and systems optimization

If it touches operations or supply chain, we’ve probably done it.

Can I hire you for just a few hours?

Yes. We offer flexible hourly consulting for targeted support - perfect if you need a second set of eyes, strategic input, or help tackling a specific problem.

How do you charge for your work?

We offer both flat-fee pricing for defined projects and hourly rates for flexible support. We’ll work with you to scope the engagement, align on expected outcomes, and move forward without surprises.

How do we get started?

Reach out for a quick intro call - no cost. We’ll talk through what you’re working on, where you’re stuck, and whether Rivora is the right fit. If so, we’ll follow up with a simple proposal and timeline.

How is Rivora different?

We’re not a big firm. You won’t get templated frameworks or vague strategy decks. Rivora brings hands-on, in-the-weeds support from someone who’s built supply chains from scratch and scaled startups through messy, high-growth phases. We move fast, focus on practical wins, and speak your language.

What’s your background?

Rivora was founded by an operations and supply chain leader with over a decade of experience scaling high-growth consumer brands. From demand planning and co-man transitions to ERP builds and cost-saving initiatives - our work is shaped by firsthand startup experience, not theory.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes, but only if it’s the right fit. Some clients bring us back in over time for new projects or periodic check-ins. We don’t push long-term retainers unless there’s a clear ongoing need—we prefer to keep things flexible and focused.

How quickly can you start?

It depends on scope and previous commitments, but we’re usually able to onboard quickly—especially for project-based or hourly support. We know how time-sensitive operational issues can be, and we don’t require lengthy lead-ins to get moving.
 

Can you work with our internal team or other consultants?

Definitely. We regularly collaborate with founders, internal ops leads, finance teams, and other specialists. Whether you need someone to own a workstream or slot in as support, we’re used to integrating seamlessly.
