We Built and Now Run Pilabarre's Operational Backbone as an Embedded Partner
PB needed more than a tool, they needed an ops team. AquiferGrowth built a full inventory management system covering forecasting, product management, collections, and PO workflows, then stayed embedded with the team to run those operations day to day. It's not a hand-off, it's a continuous partnership where AquiferGrowth is an active part of how PB runs the business.
- Full inventory, forecasting, and PO stack centralized in one system
- AquiferGrowth embedded with the team to run operations day to day
- Continuity of expertise without the cost of an internal ops bench
The Problem
Before working with Aquifer Growth, Pilabarre struggled to keep up with the operational demands of their catalog. Manual processes couldn't scale.
Operations Spread Across Disconnected Tools
Inventory, forecasting, product data, collections, and POs were running in separate places with no real source of truth. The team was spending more time reconciling data than acting on it.
No Internal Ops Bench to Run It Long Term
Even if the right tooling existed, PB didn't have the in-house ops capacity to manage it on an ongoing basis. A pure software handoff would have left the system to drift the moment the build was done.
Need for Continuity, Not Just a Build
PB needed a partner who would stay in the loop, understand how the business evolved week to week, and keep operations running cleanly without the team having to think about it.
The Solution
Full Centralized Inventory and PO System
AquiferGrowth built one platform that brings inventory, forecasting, product management, collections, and PO workflow into a single source of truth, kept in sync continuously.
Embedded Operational Ownership
Beyond the build, AquiferGrowth stays embedded with the team and actively runs day-to-day operations. The system isn't a tool that was handed off, it's a managed service that AquiferGrowth owns alongside PB.
Operational Continuity and Expertise on Tap
PB has continuous access to ops expertise without having to hire and retain a full internal team. The same partner who built the foundation is the one running it, which means context and standards never get lost.
How it looks
Illustrative. Real data sits behind access controls, but this is the shape of it: inventory, purchase orders, and forecasting in one connected system.
The Results
Since partnering with AquiferGrowth, PB has the operational backbone of a much larger company without the headcount. Inventory, forecasting, product management, and POs are all centralized, and the same partner who built the system runs it on an ongoing basis. AquiferGrowth is an active part of how PB runs the business day to day, which has been a real advantage as the company scales.
