Consumer Goods solutions
Anticipate consumer goods demand with optimized supply chains and engaging experiences that boost customer loyalty
Today's challenges
Global incidents, such as COVID-19, have changed global consumer goods needs, creating a ripple effect in today’s supply chains and new challenges for Consumer Goods companies, including those involved with food and beverage production, packaged goods, clothing and electronics.
Fluctuating inventory demands
A lack of visibility into future and current demand makes it difficult to respond to changes, resulting in empty shelves and skyrocketing prices of goods that affect customer loyalty.
Grabbing, and keeping, consumers’ attention
With an increasingly competitive landscape, companies need the technology to produce quality content that boosts customer engagement and anticipates and influences consumers’ path to purchase.
Getting personal with buyers
Today’s consumers are increasingly more educated about their buying options increasing the need for relevant, connected experiences and personalized product messaging.
Maintaining flexible supply chains
As supply and demand fluctuates, supply chains need the flexibility to change paths to maintain their integrity and keep up with the changing demands.
Customer success stories
Our invoice processing operations went from 100 percent paper-based to 100 percent non-paper-based and we were able to reduce our total staff from thirteen FTEs to only five. We’ve decreased invoice processing costs by over 50 percent, driven mainly by headcount reduction, but also due to instituting a more automated process that reduces errors.
Without OpenText Business Center for SAP Solutions, we would not have been able to reach the levels of automation that we have achieved with our reconciliation process to date. We are now saving at least 50 percent of the time it used to take for manual reconciliations, thanks to the solution.
Our relationship with OpenText was reinforced by this unique project, which addressed our need to monitor the performance of our sales teams and business. We believe in the potential of this deal and we saw results in a very short time.
