Leverage Integrated Supply Chain Visibility and Commodity Analytics to improve gross margin for Food Services
In recent years, commodity prices have seen a dramatic increase in both fluctuation and overall price. This trend is seen to be continuing, if not escalating, especially in food and feed. Managing Supply Chain Management and Finance without an integrated approach to addressing commodity risk, or using traditional commodity management tactics, leave foodservice companies exposed to rising food cost and shrinking margins.
This webinar will focus on how integrated demand planning, scenario planning, and commodity analytics can allow you to simulate commodity cost impacts on your business and make better decisions on menu pricing, promotions, and new product introductions to improve margin and optimize food cost.
Learn about recommended approaches to identify the opportunities within your company to more effectively align, manage, and measure commodity impacts on your bottom line.
Go beyond procurement tactics to leverage best-in-class supply chain planning and analytics to succeed amid increasing commodity volatility and reducing costs.
