Next-generation solutions and CPG technology designed to simplify operations management
The Complex Nature of CPG Operations
There’s nothing simple about running a successful consumer packaged goods (CPG) company. From forecasting seasonal demand and planning production cycles to managing every aspect of logistics and providing exceptional customer service, operations consists of so many moving parts and pieces that it can be difficult to manage, let alone coordinate in a seamless way.
And that’s just meeting baseline expectations: CPG firms face additional challenges such as supply chain volatility and disruption, labor shortages, changes in consumer demand, and growing competition from private labels, direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands, and other new market entrants.
What if there were a way to remove the complexity from CPG operations? With the right operations management infrastructure, you can.
Simplify Operations with the Right CPG Technology
Now more than ever before, CPG firms need to cut through all the noise and focus on making strategic decisions that drive business forward. In order to do that, they need an operations management infrastructure that empowers them to:
- Consolidate data from across different business units and departments within a centralized database for true cross-organizational visibility
- Maximize the value of their data through the use of advanced analytics and real-time reporting
- Create detailed demand forecasts that inform planning, procurement, and production strategies
- Capitalize on emerging trends and anticipate changes in consumer behavior by monitoring market activity and analyzing customer data
- Offset labor shortages and achieve operational efficiency by introducing automation to warehouse management, transportation management, and customer service
- Identify and resolve bottlenecks within existing business processes
- Build more resilient supply chains by monitoring risk in real time and proactively engaging in contingency planning
- Evaluate opportunities to expand into new channels and markets, such as DTC sales
- Leverage advanced CPG technology such as data modeling to assess the potential impact of business decisions, such as creating their own transportation fleet to address supply chain disruption
