IBM Software Helps Consumer Products Manufacturers Win Customers and Reduce Costs
Pepsi, and Crocs Improve Business Results with IBM Industry Solutions and Frameworks
Today at the National Retail Federation conference in New York City, IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced a new Consumer Products Industry Framework that can help clients reduce costs and increase revenue through improved consumer relationships, supply chain analytics and e-commerce capabilities. Companies winning business and lowering overhead with these IBM solutions include Crocs and Pepsi Beverages Company (PBC).
IBM Consumer Products Industry Framework
The IBM Consumer Products Industry Framework is designed to meet the key challenges faced by consumer products firms, including:
•Helping consumer product companies build and enhance relationships with consumers, and translate understanding of consumer behavior and preferences into more effective and efficient marketing, supply chain, and retail channel collaboration capabilities;
•Improving trade promotion effectiveness through collaboration with retail customers and channel partners;
•Capitalizing on demand data and other information to drive improved predictive analytics to increase product on-shelf availability;
•Aligning manufacturing and distribution strategies — from raw materials to finished goods — to reduce inventory levels.
This information is great for any entrepreneur to know! I know that it was designed for the Consumer Products Industry but it is applicable to other industries just like ours.
Hi – I agree with you regarding the cruelty to horses in central park. I hope you are still involved and I hope your group becomes more active.
Thank you!
Thank you! I’m glad you like my columns! I have a new one that I’m working on at this moment! I’m open to dating ideas.
I can see you really have an affinity for horses. I love horses, myself.
Good afternoon, Sun. My daughter told me something earlier that I thought you would appreciate (she is 10 years old).
She said that she wants to become a “missionary veterinarian,” and go overseas to help sick animals in other countries. I just started my future trek to Asia, and she is looking forward to going over with me in a few years as well.
What a sweet little girl I have!
That is very nice! We need more people who are kinder to animals. I hope you educator.
Indeed I do, and will! I met a couple recently who actually are missionaries that spend most of the year in Africa, and guess what their main focus is? They are veterinarians who take care of the people’s farm animals. I’m making plans to allow her to meet them.
If she treats all animals like she treats her kitty and doggie, then the world will be a better place. : )
PS – do you know cats really well? If so, what breed would be a great feline pet for a single guy like me?
We attended this Conference Dinner down in the Meatpacking District of NYC although a little late as always. Maybe IBM can tell us how to be prompt for events as we are ALWAYS RUNNING LATE. It was very interesting!
We met other entrepreneurs as well such as independent shoe designers.
I love my crocs! I just bought a new pair for the winter. They are lined with the softest and warmest fabric. Sometimes I forget I am wearing anything on my feet when I have those clodstoppers on!
