In the Consumer Products industry, your brand is made or broken by your ability to deliver the right goods to the right place at the right time. Challenges for Consumer Products firms include a high number of products that change seasonally.
Successful projects will work to lower handling costs and improve customer service while taking into account:
- SKU proliferation
- High SKU velocity coupled with a multitude of outbound shipping destinations
- High inventory seasonality
- A need to get things delivered on time for key “crunch” times
- Retail compliance issues, including RFID
- International sourcing often through a 10,000 mile supply chain and inbound shipping challenges
