In response to the recent changes to the international food supply chain, IGD has enhanced its Supply Chain Analysis platform to “provide businesses with the tools needed to thrive in the new environment”.
Informed by the industry’s changing needs, the research and training charity stated that its service had been improved to provide more action-focused insight, to help retailers and manufacturers work better together.
Taking a data-led approach, IGD highlighted that its Supply Chain Analysis platform will deliver insight across five core supply chain areas – waste and sustainability; demand and supply planning; service and availability; inventory management; and cost to serve.
Combining the new ways people are accessing insight with the desire of supply chain professionals to connect with each other and share knowledge, the new features businesses can benefit from include virtual roundtables, analyst briefings, insight webinars, and an annual supply chain event.
Chris Irish, Head of Supply Chain Insight at IGD, said: “With the recent demands on the food and CPG supply chain we are excited to offer the resources, tools and insights to support individuals and teams in navigating the rapidly evolving supply chain landscape. And, to ensure our content remains relevant, our ongoing dialogue with industry will continue to inform our insight focus. To facilitate this ongoing discussion, we’ve added opportunities for businesses to interact with IGD experts and industry peers on the subjects that matter.
“From our research, we know supply chain teams are being asked to do more with less, so we are providing a service that aims to support the increasing pressures on businesses. Whether your priority is to develop internal insight and capability, see how you stack up against competitors or understand changing customer requirements, we’re offering a platform that delivers across the board.”
