How Possible Happens: Connecting global food supply chains with Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage

The journey of your food: A complex global network

Nearly everything in your grocery store traveled a long way to get there. The sardines from Spain, the olive oil from Tuscany, and the peppers from Macedonia. It wasn’t a simple journey.

Unique challenges in food and beverage supply chains

Getting anything from one corner of the world to another is complicated, but there are unique considerations in the food and beverage industry. The product needs to move quickly and carefully so it doesn’t expire, and cost can fluctuate rapidly with shifting market conditions. The global food system is a web of extremely complex supply chains and manufacturing processes. In other words, it takes a lot to get food to your table.

The power of data in food and beverage operations

Infor CloudSuite™ empowers food and beverage companies to analyze and integrate data sets and processes across operations, delivering the decision-making power, efficiency, and reliability needed to boost revenue and sustain growth. When isolated, each process, data set, and vendor relationship is to a food and beverage supply chain like a single ingredient in a recipe—its full potential is only realized when combined in harmony with other flavors.

Infor CloudSuite is the sous chef for food and beverage organizations. It supplies the support, integrations, and insights needed—such as predicting supply and demand fluctuations—to help customers maximize efficiency, bolster margins, and deliver the correct product to each valued customer, on time.

Bridging the gaps in food supply chain management

For food and beverage companies especially, streamlined data reveals the best insights, such as costly technological bottlenecks between suppliers, transportation partners, and last-mile delivery solutions that stymie revenue and growth. When data sets are fractured, various stakeholders across the supply chain must cross-reference information—often in different formats—through a slow manual process that leads to errors and delays. Simply put, most legacy technical infrastructures can’t keep pace with the new and growing obstacles the industry faces.

Driving reliability, innovation, and profitability in food logistics

Reliability is everything in the food and beverage industry—customers won’t tolerate being left on an empty stomach. Infor™ helps industry leaders create efficiencies and innovate to make their business more competitive and profitable. Our mission is to equip you with the tools and resources to prioritize and optimize your operations today while preparing for future growth. The global food system may be complex, but your business processes can be intuitive.
