Consumer packaged goods (CPG)
As food/beverage and consumer packaged goods (CPG) firms respond to eCommerce growing and demanding service levels, continuous cost pressures, and rising global competition, fundamental business practices are facing greater scrutiny than ever before. Now is the time to dramatically improve cost efficiency, strengthen collaborative relationships with customers and suppliers, maximize IT investments, and renew commitments to customer service.
Collectively, these challenges all have a direct bearing on the supply chain activities. Leading companies are deploying latest supply chain technologies including AI/ML to be predictive and resilient. Using these advanced techniques, they can accurately predict needed inventory levels, optimize sourcing, and form efficient supply chain networks for lower inventory and higher service levels.
Investments in CPG operations and supply chain management have historically been subordinate to sales and marketing.

Reduce inventory by 30% across all of our DC’s with the help of Adexa Network Optimizer
One of the Largest Global CPG Companies
We selected Adexa because of its overall functional capabilities and the flexibility to grow with our business. We intend to use Adexa as a foundation on which we can build improvements in several different supply chain processes and enhance collaboration with our retail and builder partners.
… the Adexa suite delivered centralized monitoring of the supply chain across the enterprise, and “what-if” analysis to ensure the impact of change, from any source, was visible to all stakeholders.
The number of SKUs, packaging, fresh or frozen, size and variation of customer base can amount to hundreds if not thousands of combinations. Through the use of Adexa’s supply chain applications, we have maintained the same or higher forecast accuracy and delivery performance despite doubling the number of SKU’s. Currently, we are performing at close to 99% service levels for our Customer Secondary Distribution and close to 90% for Principle Secondary Distribution. In both cases the forecast accuracy was up by 6-8% despite a 57% increase in the numbers of SKUs.
