HOW FOODS CONNECTED CAN HELP YOUR BUSINESS ADAPT, SURVIVE, AND THRIVE IN RESPONSE TO THE ONGOING GLOBAL PANDEMIC.

1. COVID-19 RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES:
HOW FOODS CONNECTED CAN HELP YOUR
BUSINESS ADAPT, SURVIVE, AND THRIVE IN
RESPONSE TO THE ONGOING GLOBAL
PANDEMIC.

2. At Foods Connected, we understand the
many issues facing businesses in the food
industry across Europe at this time:
operational restrictions and lockdowns, staff
absences, changes to policies for health &
safety and human resources, unpredictable
supply & demand of materials or
distribution, logistical problems with
imports/exports to the UK, and many other
associated business risks. This is all aside
from the very personal toll the pandemic is
having on families & individuals around the
globe, mentally, emotionally and financially.
As a result of this complex landscape, many
organisations have been focusing on
“firefighting”, prioritising their front-end
operations, and running with a short-term
view.
RISKS

3. INDUSTRY 4.0
If you are not yet familiar with the term “Industry 4.0” here is a brief definition: Industry 4.0
refers to the fourth industrial revolution- an ongoing, innovative move away from traditional
manufacturing & operational practices, towards automation and digital transformation. As
part of this, technologies such as machine-to-machine communication, artificial intelligence,
virtual and augmented reality, the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and blockchain
(amongst others) are being embraced by forward-thinking organisations that are reaping the
benefits of this approach.

4. Leading business figures agree that companies must
respond to the challenges being faced, pivot and adapt their
business accordingly, and reshape their outlook. Foods
Connected Ltd offers a complete end-to-end supply chain
solution, utilising the cloud to hold live, relevant data across
multiple functions for your business. This single pane of
glass interface offers a range of benefits through the
utilisation of innovative software and the industry expertise
of our entire team. Our business founders previously worked
in the food industry, and designed Foods Connected as a
practical solution to real problems they were facing within
their own organisations. Since 2012, the company has
expanded with many more individuals brought in from across
the food industry, and we now operate globally, with offices
in Northern Ireland and Australia.
