Supplier Relationship Management



A market-driven, process-centered approach:

Top Product Development Challenges

Global Specifications Management • Manage the complexity of food & beverage business with a single source of all product

specifications

• Connect formulas, packaging, safety documents and all related specifications as set of

dynamic relationships, rather than static electronic documents, for increased accuracy.

• Changes are frequent, ensure traceability and control for increased integrity.

• Associate multiple suppliers to a single SKU

Brand Knowledge Management • Manage and distribute accurate product images, logos and approved copy for

consistent brand communications

• Make better brand decisions through full visibility of products by category, by region, by

SKU

• Quickly understand the performance of your brands with brand dashboards

Packaging and Artwork Management • Remove bottle necks in the packaging and artwork process through global

collaboration with suppliers, designers and brand managers

• On-demand visualization at any point in the artwork and packaging process confirms

design intentions and speeds the approval process

• Ensure package label copy is accurate every time and projects a consistent brand

image.



A market-driven, process-centered approach:

Top 3 Product Development Challenges

Collaborative Line Planning & Calendar Management

• Lack of visibility from previous year/season. Cost impacts not well understood • Less than 30% of products from a season are successful

• Tracking tasks, resources & milestones across multiple styles is challenging

• Manual issue & exception tracking . No feedback for continuous improvement

Integrated Specification Development

• Lack of color standards and library of approved colors, fabrics, sketches

• Errors & manual intervention in tracking fabric/color lab dips and samples

• Limited reuse of existing /approved fabrics/colors/vendors – added costs

• Minimal history/traceability of information from past styles and seasons

Global Sourcing & Vendor Collaboration

• Inability to effectively collaborate on new product designs across organization

• Specifications not communicated effectively causing rework

• Iterative Costing with vendors is a manual process . Spreadsheets, No history

• Lack of supplier quality tracking, scorecards and social/environment compliance tracking
