The food and beverage industry is dynamic, complex and versatile. The entire industry is characterized by very specific requirements, irrespective of whether fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, canned food or drinks are manufactured. A food company needs a flexible business application that runs on industry-specific needs.
These challenges include:
- Large order volumes
- Short-term deliveries
- Electronic Data Interchange / EDI
- Complex Logistics
- Shelf / Traceability
- Integrated Management Charge
- Maintenance Processes
- Low margins
- Forecasting and demand planning
- Strict quality standards
- Consumer-oriented business
Concepts such as ECR (Efficient Consumer Response), EFR (Efficient Foodservice Response), VMI (vendor-managed inventory) and CPFR (Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment) dominate the food industry. The streamlining and simplifying the supply chain - from manufacturer to consumer – is a must for every company.
