Consumer products
Surpass customer standards while staying ahead of consumer demands.
Supply chain orchestration that keeps your customers happy
When you’re dealing with volatile demand and omni-channel complexity on top of new product releases and frequent promotions, there’s no room for hesitation or inaccuracy. Instead, manage your supply chain with transparency so you understand how changes affect your entire supply network, and run new scenarios quickly so you can respond to critical customer changes and disruptions more effectively than your competitors.
Unleash your supply chain’s full potential
In the consumer products industry, change and disruption is the norm. Understand the impact of any change or disruption in your plans instantly with full level pegging so you can see where and how your supply network is impacted, whether it be at the finished goods, WIP, raw materials, or capacity level. Once your orders are out, get real-time alerts across the network and manage exceptions immediately, so you never skip a beat.
Make faster and better decisions by creating scenarios on the fly and understanding trade-offs across KPIs such as revenue, margin, inventory, and on-time delivery, using weighted scorecards. Always select the best carriers and routes –from order allocation through last mile delivery – and continuously optimize as conditions change and unfold.
Empower your planners with highly accurate demand forecasts across all horizons using machine learning-based forecasting and sensing. Incorporate the true drivers of your demand with both internal and external signals and make the best use of your inventory across the network when fulfilling orders.
Expired and obsolete product can increase cost and waste to your business. You can minimize waste by leveraging expiry information and customer shelf-life requirements into your supply plans. Get alerts for expiry risk and understand the impacts on planned inventory dispositions. Reduce unnecessary trucks on the road and GHG emissions with order and truck load optimization.
