Consumer Products Overview
The consumer products industry is experiencing unprecedented disruptions and consumer preferences are changing daily. Manufacturers need to stay ahead of the market changing by being adaptive and agile.
Product development and replenishment life-cycles can shrink, supply chains feel the impact of every buying pattern shift, and manufacturers face tightening margins. In order to gain share and increase profit, consumer products companies must anticipate and meet customer demand on the shelf, while managing their margins and complying with ever-evolving safety and environmental regulations.
