The challenges facing the food and beverage industry continue to mount. Increasing consolidation among market leaders and a growing demand for sustainable, organic, Fairtrade and “specialty” food continues to threaten potential profits. Consumers want high quality, but very few are willing to fund high ingredient costs through price increases. Uncertainty in raw materials markets, supply challenges and inconsistent performance among suppliers can further burden a company’s ability to provide the right products at an attractive price point.

Ingredients sourcing teams, raw materials buyers and quality and logistics professionals must find a better way of managing complex supply chains from the time a request for ingredients is made to the point of manufacturing. An ideal solution would be to centralize and automate ad-hoc manual processes without hindering quality.
