Data analytics in the food and beverage supply chain

React faster, plan smarter, and address issues proactively

This is the first of a three-part series on how companies in the food and beverage industry can transform their supply-chain operations.

Companies across most industries are turning to data analytics and artificial intelligence to make better decisions … and more quickly. From order management to production to financial reconciliation, they’re working with “clean,” comprehensive data that’s aggregated, standardized, and robust — all in real time. This move has led organizations to be able to speed up their operations, saving time and money.

Notice though, we said “most” industries. Frankly, the food and beverage industry needs to catch up. To be successful, those companies have to be able to mine massive amounts of disorganized data and turn it into relevant, useful information. A TMS with the right data-visualization tool “surfaces” the information you need in a way that’s easy for any stakeholder to understand and act on. 

Once you understand the power of using data analytics, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it. Say you’re in the business of delivering meal kits. Every day, you need to source fresh ingredients from different suppliers.
