As fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies and their external supply chain partners continue to operate in a competitive, ever-shifting market, it is becoming more important than ever for them to drive two-way visibility and high-fidelity collaboration across their complex, multi-tier networks. To this end, it has become mission-critical for consumer brands and manufacturers to leverage modern supply chain planning technologies and multi-enterprise collaboration platforms in order to drive performance and responsiveness across their networks. This webinar will highlight how leading technologies in the realm of supply chain planning (OMP) and multi-enterprise collaboration (Nulogy) can deliver value for fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) enterprises and their networks of external supply chain partners such as contract packagers and contract manufacturers. By leveraging these two complementary categories of supply chain technology, FMCG enterprises can take advantage of true cross-enterprise visibility for their own value stream analysts and external suppliers alike.

Manufacturers understand the importance of precise data management to assure that sufficient materials are available in order to avoid costly production downtime. Still, many continue to rely on an outdated and error-prone patchwork of spreadsheets and manual data inputs, often leading to supply shortfalls, mislabeled products and overstocking of products that are no longer needed. This webinar will demonstrate how artificial intelligence (AI) replaces disconnected data silos with a digitized network footprint of all goods, services and logistics throughout the supply chain so that every decision is visible across the entire organization. AI’s machine learning capabilities remove materials guesswork by continually updating and interpreting market and customer trends to drive highly accurate predictive inventory analyses for indirect MRO, direct goods and even finished products. The webinar will also explain how complete digitization of data improves operational efficiency by harmonizing real-time, continually updated data across all departments and users, streamlining inventory management for speedy access to individual product stocks and available quantities.
