Our Values

These principles guide everything we do at Foreko.

Focus on Impact

Every feature we build is measured by how much it helps CPG suppliers reduce costs, save time, and grow their business — 87% forecast accuracy, 30 hours saved per week, 10% stockout reduction.

Built for CPG

We understand the unique challenges of consumer packaged goods. Our platform is purpose-built for the workflows, data formats, and pain points CPG suppliers face every day — not a generic tool adapted after the fact.

Accessible Innovation

Enterprise solutions cost $200K+ and take months to implement. Foreko delivers enterprise-grade AI capabilities at $500/mo with 1-day integration — because great tools should not require a massive budget.

Customer Partnership

We succeed when our customers succeed. With 10 pilot customers in production and 67 interviews conducted — we are not just building software, we are building alongside the suppliers who use it.

Based in Northwest Arkansas

Close to Where It Matters

We are headquartered in Northwest Arkansas — surrounded by one of the largest concentrations of CPG suppliers in the country. We have conducted 67 interviews with CPG founders in the region and have 10 pilot customers in production. This proximity keeps us connected to the real challenges our customers face.
