Key Considerations
- Jason's capacity is already strained. He is currently managing farming, B2C fulfillment, wholesale deliveries, and Amazon orders simultaneously. Adding a large bulk shipment without planning risks further operational breakdown. See [4].
- Payment terms need to be established. The internal team needs to align on what Doodla will accept before committing to the packer.
- Logistics sequencing matters. Beans must be cleaned, bagged in 2,000-lb units, and staged for two-truckload pickup. Warehouse space and labor availability need to be confirmed.
- This is a wholesale/B2B transaction, separate from the Amazon and D2C channels Asymmetric normally manages. Coordination with Lucy is essential.
Next Steps
- [ ] Karly to schedule internal planning call with Mark, Lucy, and Jason before engaging Bean Vivo or the Ohio packer
- [ ] Confirm Doodla's current cleaned bean inventory and cleaning pipeline capacity
- [ ] Establish pricing and payment terms Doodla will offer the packer
- [ ] Confirm warehouse staging capacity for 2,000-lb bag format
- [ ] Determine Asymmetric's role (if any) in coordinating or earning on this transaction
