Consumer Products Consumer Packaged Goods

Today's Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) Companies face a tough market, as regulations and litigation escalate and competitors rapidly reverse-engineer products. Being the first-to-market is a must to reap the majority of market share and profits. Many CPG companies today are struggling with eroding market share and the need to scale operations with finite resources. Companies with global operations require business systems to deal with specific Regulatory Requirements for each specific region or market they operate. To complicate matters further, in order to reduce costs, many organizations have opted to utilize co-packers or outsourced manufacturing partners. This complicates the entire product development process by raising the risk of degrading quality and liability in a product recall. The ENOVIA MatrixOne Solution for CPG companies spans the product lifecycle, from innovation to brand management to consumer marketing and specification management. In today's demanding, highly competitive global marketplace, companies must have expanded cross functional process visibility, access to information in multiple systems, and streamlined work processes that span the enterprise. Rapidly changing consumer opinions require companies to scale product development changes and approvals while reducing time-to-market.
