Food and beverage manufacturers can no longer succeed by fine-tuning a relatively straightforward process of pushing as much through the production and supply chain operations as efficiently as possible. They must be flexible to handle a much more complex product line and set of sales channels that appeal to specific niche buyers and their lifestyles.

To enable employees to succeed in this more complex environment, IT can ease the burden. Comprehensive and industry-specific enterprise resource planning (ERP) and surrounding IT infrastructure tools are not only important, but increasingly available to even smaller companies.

Significant Gaps in Data Flows

Most food and beverage manufacturers currently have significant gaps in data flows that result in waste and errors. These can lead to ineffective innovation, inadequate traceability of product sources and handling issues, and slow responsiveness to market shifts.

Food and beverage companies that evolve to a business process utilising more integrated ERP tools together with mobility, business intelligence, and collaboration tools can improve business performance and seize opportunities to gain market share.

Simply put, to stay ahead of the competition, food and beverage manufacturers must evolve with their partners to become more innovative, sustainable, and responsive.
