The food and beverage industry
is in constant crisis mode
From changing consumer tastes to weather events and supply chain issues to regulatory compliance and safety recalls, the food and beverage industry faces a unique set of challenges.
Ingredient substitution
Price increases, crop failures, conflict and shipping blockades are some events that can cause ingredient shortages and require ingredient substitution. But replacing ingredients is a significant health hazard, teams must undertake R&D and update allergens from packaging to shelf.
Food safety risks
Every food item on the shelf carries a potential health risk, relying on spreadsheets to manage compliance and traceability is no longer sufficient. To effectively reduce risk, protect customers and brand reputation, teams must have access to tools specifically for product development.
Consumer loyalty
Consumers have a limited need for fresh food and calories to consume, making the battle for market share highly competitive. Capturing market share and building brand loyalty are crucial, but can be held back by slow time to market and inefficient product development.
