Enhancing Supply Chain Crisp Efficiency
The Challenge:
A leading Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) company faced significant challenges in utilizing its data to streamline supply chain operations. While using the Crisp platform to ingest real-time data from around 15 retailers and distributors, the company encountered several issues:
Limited Reporting Capabilities
The basic reporting tools provided by Crisp were insufficient for the company’s needs. They required detailed insights to monitor product availability across multiple retail partners and ensure optimal supply chain performance.
Data Gaps
Not all critical data sources were integrated within Crisp, leaving the company with incomplete information that hindered effective decision-making.
Supply Chain Disruptions
Without real-time visibility into which retailers were running out of stock, the company struggled to engage distributors proactively, leading to frequent stockouts and missed sales opportunities.
The Solution:
The company partnered with ADLAB Solutions to develop a comprehensive data and reporting solution tailored to their unique challenges:
