CPG companies are facing multiple challenges: developing e-commerce, enriching customer experience, multichannel and increasingly demanding consumers in terms of ethics and health, changes in consumer areas and development in emerging countries, etc. To meet these challenges and to continue to gain market shares, they must regularly rethink their operational models and make their organization evolve towards more transversality, flexibility and agility.
Finally, in a highly competitive world, they must provide their customers with innovative products and services, exploiting the potential offered by the emergence of new technologies.

Operations: key lever for profitability increase and business model transformation
We support our clients in achieving this objective by working with them on the definition of their Supply Chain model and strategy, the optimization of the “road to market”, the reconfiguration of S&OP processes and the improvement of operational performance in logistics and transport.
Digital product continuity: a prerequisite for the deployment of an omni-channel strategy
Product data is now recognized as a major asset by most of CPG companies: an optimized use of this data is necessary to meet growing regulatory requirements, to inform consumers about the characteristics of their products or to sell online.
We help our clients to determine and implement an optimized digital product strategy.
