4 Next-Gen Best Practices for BevAlc Producers Who Want to Pull Ahead in a Volatile Market

Cloud-based technology innovation is built to solve challenges inside and outside the four walls of BevAlc producers. New best practices have recently emerged to streamline business through a digitally connected supply chain.

1. Control Brand and Market Presence at All Supply Chain Touchpoints

• Challenge: Representing a brand consistently throughout the supply chain is critical. When information is incorrect, it impacts downstream buying decisions.

• Solution: Product Information Management (PIM) tools help manufacturers build product identities, enabling unprecedented control over downstream market presence for each brand.

2. Improve Demand Planning With Actionable Insights Across Tiers

• Challenge: Historical forecasting methods, based on the previous year’s sales, are unreliable in today’s fast-changing market.

• Solution: Data transparency creates collaboration up and down the supply chain to stay prepared for shifting consumer demand.

3. Ensure Consistent Product Quality Despite Labor Challenges

• Challenge: A volatile labor market has forced high rates of employee turnover. Lack of production experience has an impact on product quality.

• Solution: Systematizing procedures into mobile devices helps all employees deliver quality products and revenue-driving results.

4. Utilize Insights to Make Data-Driven Business Decisions

• Challenge: It’s difficult for manufacturers to fully conceptualize potential profit when piloting a new product.

• Solution: Let the system do the initial math. Then, using data shared between tiers, manufacturers can set pricing to meet target margins with a higher degree of predictability.

Beverage Producers need a competitive edge. Data transparency and insights between tiers are already strengthening business downstream for tech-forward producers. Smarter demand planning, stronger market presence, more consistent product quality, and data-driven financial gain are just the beginning of what producers can achieve through modern technology.
