Powering the Digital Next CPG Enterprise with Platforms of Intelligence

CPG organizations have accelerated their digital transformation in the last 12 months

To begin with, new consumer segments have emerged, there is a growing demand for new products, the buying behaviors have changed and the fulfillment channels have shifted from physical to digital. There has been significant growth in e-commerce for CPG over the last 12 months as online grocery services ballooned from 13% to 30% in the US. Forecasts indicate that by 2022 e-commerce in the grocery category alone will be 3X higher than pre-COVID-19 levels[i]. Most significantly, CPG companies have accelerated their digital transformation and are moving to the direct-to-consumer (D2C) model. Consumers are using in-app ordering, home delivery, order-online-and-pickup-in-store (or pickup curbside) and have begun to depend on chatbots and voice assistants. Consumers want CPG companies to provide these tools.

Pandemic shaped the consumer behavior and CPG organizations are focusing on D2C

The pandemic has had a financial impact on consumers resulting in a change in buying behavior. These consumers want cheaper products and some are wisely switching to individual-use products; others, driven by health-related concerns and anxieties around shortages want to stock up; still, others have opted for local products, and there is a noticeable uptick in organic products.

For the CPG industry, these changes in consumer behavior are difficult to spot. This is because the primary owner of the consumer relationship has always been the retail partner, blocking a direct view of the customer. CPG businesses are therefore unable to change products, processes, and supply chains in response, as quickly as they should. D2C commerce holds the potential to change the status quo. It will enable CPG organizations to leverage data and analytics to build consumer intimacy, strengthen loyalty, shape new products, manage inventory, optimize supply chains, reduce operational costs and meet the demands of consumers who want supply chain visibility.

Invest in improving collaboration between CPG and Retail for D2C success – Kevin Gokey, VP & Global Chief Information Officer at Church & Dwight

To understand how CPG companies are positioned for the future and the transformation projects they will focus on, we conducted a joint webinar with Kevin Gokey, VP & Global Chief Information Officer at Church & Dwight, and Praveen Gururaja, Director, Retail and CPG, Microsoft, as guest speakers.

Both Gokey and Gururaja agreed that the pandemic provided a new growth opportunity in the form of D2C. However, Gokey cautioned that “The operational excellence that got us to where we are today won’t take us into the future.”

One part of the solution, said Gokey, is to make significant investments in improving collaboration between CPG and Retail. He believes that omnichannel growth will make it necessary for CPG to develop joint business plans with retail marketplace platforms like Amazon and retail chains like Walmart.

Automate, digitize and connect current processes using the cloud to accelerate digital transformation – Praveen Gururaja, Director, Retail & CPG, Microsoft

The second part of the solution is to use technology to build D2C, understand consumer behavior, spot trends, manage inventory, change products, and lower operational costs. Praveen Gururaja pointed out the need to automate, digitize and connect current processes. This can be achieved – quickly and effectively – using cloud services to optimize brand performance through consumer connectedness and omni-channel commerce. Cloud creates an intelligent and collaborative enterprise by connecting suppliers, headquarters, warehouses, and field sellers, to improve sales execution and customer satisfaction; it delivers sustainability and operational excellence by creating the connected factory of the future that runs on digitized supply chains and logistics, and it accelerates innovation aimed at transforming traditional products while moving towards a service model for new and sustained revenue streams.

Microsoft’s Azure stack fits in perfectly to fulfill these needs. It provides the scalable infrastructure that CPG organizations need and it allows them to leverage the underpinning tools to exploit their data. These tools include:

A data lake to ingest and leverage consumer, supplier, and partner data
Analytical engines to improve functions such as trade promotions and deliver advanced capabilities such as in-store dynamic pricing across electronic shelf labels
Automation for routine processes such as those used to scrape the web to identify counterfeit products and to achieve goals such as a reduction in low-end manual labor
Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify revenue growth and upsell opportunities
Security to ensure data privacy and compliance with GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act, etc.
Video analytics to understand in-store consumer demographics, path-to-purchase, manage assortments and replenishments, and several other difficult-to-monitor factors
While the technology exists – and has become affordable – the real challenge, said Gokey, lies in persuading the organization to use the new technology. Getting employees to be data literate and skilling analysts in data sciences is difficult. This is an area that requires immediate attention if CPG organizations want to extract the promised ROI from digital, cloud, data, and analytics.

ITC Infotech has a strong pedigree in the CPG industry and has been serving several Global Fortune 500 companies with digital solutions. During the pandemic, CPG companies have told us that they see acute changes in customer expectations along three vectors: (a) customers want their needs to be met where they are, whether or not on digital or physical mediums; (b) they want brands to meet their evolving needs, so solutions need to adapt quickly; and (c) they want to be protected from the uncertainty of their surroundings which translates into prioritizing consistency, predictability, and reliability.

To meet these expectations, enterprises need real-time connectedness like never before. To make this real, enterprises must move away from what has largely been a siloed, project-oriented approach towards a platform-oriented approach that unlocks agility. They must understand how consumer needs are changing daily, discover new consumer segments and adopt new strategies.
