An Appetite For Healthy Delivery

Not many people know this, but the largest manufacturing sector in the U.S. can be found in the food and beverage industry. It’s a huge industry with similarly sized challenges. Each year ushers in heightened control over safety of ingredients, intermediate bulk processed foods and consumer-ready products. A constant barrage of new regulations adds to the complexity for an industry already facing significant traditional challenges: low growth in the size of the overall industry, pressure on margins and a crowded marketplace.

Delivering fresh, quality and safe products

Food and beverage supply chains are a double-edged sword. They represent a strong competitive advantage and a critical risk factor. There’s a lot of money in satisfying the world’s growing appetite if you can use your supply chains to take the edge off of costly and labor-intensive compliance. RedPrairie is a consumer-driven optimisation company that offers a combination of feature-function knowledge, systems integration and supply chain expertise to help food and beverage companies protect consumers and at the same time mitigate the risk inherent in delivering fresh, quality and safe products.

Strong return on your supply chain investment

Our customers get a strong return on supply chain technology investments both in terms of capital expenditure and customer satisfaction. Our E²e™ supply chain execution solutions help customers apply preferred methods (i.e. the best way to perform each task), standards and real-time monitoring and feedback to encourage efficiency and throughput improvements. In a people-intensive industry that works on very low margins, we’re known for our Workforce Management capabilities that improve efficiency. To improve throughput, we offer variable aging based on location or zone (frozen, refrigerated or ambient), country-of-origin tracking, customer-specified packaging, labeling and handling, and temperature-based zone loading and monitoring.

We’re all about traceability so you can respond swiftly and surely to external pressures like legislation and to your own quality assurance requirements. Wouldn’t attaining visibility across the supply chain and establishing an integrated transportation network be good for you and for the consumer?

What if…

…you could maintain complete visibility to and control of all products in your supply chain, from end to end?

…you had a single, centralised point to handle all quality assurance, hold, and recall processes across your extended supply network in a matter of minutes?

…you received warnings of near expiry far enough in advance to deal with it proactively, combined with automatic expiration for product that has gone beyond its shelf life?

…you had the ability to automatically ensure key customers receive only the newest, freshest product and are never shipped product older than what they’ve already been sent?

…you could increase worker productivity throughout your operations through instilling preferred methods, automatic standards monitoring and reporting, and real-time feedback?

…you could meet shelf-life requirements for all customers, especially those with long lead times or storage times (like the military)?

What If You Could Make Your Products Even More Appetising?

All you have to do is select RedPrairie. Put quite simply, we help you stand out for freshness, quality and safety.

We’re focused on helping you deliver your products in their best possible condition and at the lowest possible cost. We make sure you meet legislated and internally generated quality standards and, as a result, enjoy unbelievable customer retention rates, increased market share and improved overall profitability. We remove obstructions from order processing through delivery that impede your ability to view and control your fulfillment operations. That means momentum builds early in the supply chain and culminates in customer satisfaction and consumer well-being.

Our E²e™ Solutions for Food & Beverage have helped companies including Hershey’s, Pepsi, Nestle, Foster’s and Kellogg’s get better at mitigating risk and improving efficiency and throughput without sacrificing quality, which is a healthier alternative to business as usual. Standing out in this industry for freshness, quality and safety is just another of the many challenges you face, and we help give you a leg up.
