Share and use information in the company is a complex practice but it worth it. Manufacturers and retailers have to efficiently and precisely manage data and documentation attached to products while ensuring their traceability and origin. Considering innovation as a core priority, key functions are able to question and improve internal processes. Collaboration from end to end is tremendous to progress. Many food and beverage companies have questions such as: How to create a new recipe from an existing one? How to generate ingredients lists in many languages? How to track my products (including biological and geographical origins)? How to be sure my labeling complies with current regulations (USDA, FDA, INCO)? How to better adapt to new regulations? How to benefit from a global vision of my projects? How to ease collaboration with my suppliers? How to automatically calculate costs and risks while developing a new recipe? How to generate versions? What is the point of gathering information? PLM software already assisted FMCG customers to better manage their product portfolio and solve these issues.
