Accelerate time to market while driving revenue and maintaining compliance
PLM to Speed Production, Improve Consumer and Retailer Satisfaction
Many food processors are challenged to meet greater production and pricing demands from customers, competition from the constant flow of new entrants to the marketplace, as well as managing increasingly complex global supply chains and product structures.
Their PLM platform should help processors meet ever-changing regulation and safety requirements on ingredients, processes, packaging and more. Yet many food processors are locked into the limits of legacy PLM and PDM.
