Javvy is on a mission to set a new standard for café favorites with better-for-you beverages that are craveable, convenient, and without compromise. Positioned at the intersection of café culture, convenience, and functional nutrition, we’re reimagining the drinks people buy every day — proving you don’t have to compromise between great taste and quality ingredients.

it current, accurate, and trusted by the team Translate the demand and production plan into material requirements by co-manufacturer, accounting for BOMs, on-hand and on-order inventory, MOQs, and supplier lead times Monitor material coverage and upcoming shortages on a weekly and daily cadence, with a clear view of the next 12+ weeks of production Turn planning signals into timely purchase orders with the right quantities, order increments, and delivery timing to each co-manufacturer Balance supply continuity against inventory and cash, avoiding both stockouts and excess or obsolete material Surface shortages, risks, and trade-offs early, and drive them to resolution with Demand Planning, Production, and suppliers Inbound Execution & Inventory Accuracy Follow up on every open PO:
