According to the Food and Drink Federation, the food and drink industry is the biggest manufacturing sector in the country – larger than automotive and aerospace combined.
In any manufacturing sector, timing is critical, but in the food and beverage industry, speed and accuracy is paramount. Why? Because companies manufacture and distribute perishable items, and lots of them.
Delays or errors can cause waste, as well as having damaging effects on company cash and reputation.
Furthermore, industry regulations and safety requirements mean the need for visibility and control over order data to ensure compliance at all times.
Add into this an ever steadily growing market and increasing demands for production, creating further pressure on food and beverage companies to get order management right.
Esker’s eBook: Going Paperless in the Food and Beverage Industry explains both the order management issues facing the sector, and how the benefits of going 100% paperless are nothing short of transformational.
