The Challenge
Widespread
global consolidation; … a flood of new products; … intensive
competition; … new more restrictive laws and regulations;…
increasing consumer segmentation – CHANGE, in a multitude
of forms, has come fast and furiously to the beverage industry in
recent years.
These changing dynamics are accentuated in a business environment
that’s characterised by economic uncertainty and volatility,
requiring companies to rethink their current business strategies
in an effort to become increasingly
adaptable and flexible.
Supply
Chain Optimisation:
Unified and streamlined processes are required to increase efficiency
to reduce costs and improve service to drive sales. Supply chain
visibility is required to collaborate with suppliers and customers
and respond to market changes and consumer demand quickly and easily.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM):
The CRM challenge facing beverage companies is to shift from an
internal focus to a consumer focus, understanding that profitability
is driven by consumer behaviour.
Market Concentration with the associated acquisitions and mergers
has driven the need for system flexibility to support the frequent
and rapid business changes plus powerful, flexible financial and
consolidation systems.
