Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

As part of its 'Remix' digital transformation, the company built a Supply Chain Control Tower on Azure. By creating a Digital Twin of its 34 North American manufacturing facilities, the system provides real-time visibility into inventory, production lines, and logistics, enabling the company to react instantly to supply shocks.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"A robust response to the supply chain crises of the 2020s. For low-margin CPG, the ability to predict 'out-of-stock' events or transport bottlenecks allows for agile redirection of inventory, protecting shelf presence and revenue."

warning The Challenge

The company's supply chain data was siloed across ERPs, spreadsheets, and factory systems. Planning was reactive, leading to inefficiencies during demand surges (e.g., pandemic ketchup shortage) or supply disruptions.

psychology The Solution

The Control Tower aggregates data from SAP, transport partners, and factory IoT sensors into Azure Data Lake. Azure Synapse Analytics drives dashboarding. AI models predict demand spikes and suggest inventory rebalancing actions.
