Food & Beverage
Secure and expand shelf space. Profitably.
Margins can be thin in the fast-paced food and beverage market. Competition is strong in the fight for shelf space. Brands and SKUs are proliferating, with a steady stream of new flavors and product variations entering the marketplace. Seasonality can have a huge impact on this market, both in terms of predicting demand and production planning. Food production is often impacted by changeovers from fresh-pack and frozen items. Capacity constraints and quality requirements also affect manufacturing. Some companies are consolidating plants and increasingly relying on co-packers. Others are expanding into global markets in search of new sales and local supplies. Many companies are increasing their product portfolios to meet shifting consumer tastes. And, with transportation costs rising faster than the rate of inflation, efficient logistics is more critical than ever.
