Consumer Products & Beverages
Interconnect a complex Multi-Channel Distribution Environment
Distribution within the consumer products and beverages industry has changed towards a complex multi-channel and multi-process environment. A multitude of processes are involved across manufacturing plants, sales and order-taking management, supply chain and customer relationship management.
This requires a fine-tuned machine of interconnected stakeholders with immediate access to accurate information and activities that are properly orchestrated.
Common Challenges in Consumer Products & Beverages
Downtime
Downtime of production or distribution equipment causes delayed supply and waste
Customer complaints
Errors in shipment and delivery cause customer rejects and complaints
Inefficient transport
Empty space in delivery trucks is not used for sellable products if van-sales process is not supported
Tardy promotions
Market-data can't be transformed in on-the-spot promotions to counter competition
Late replenishment
If vending machines don't trigger out-of-stock warnings, sales opportunities are lost
