TCT for the consumer goods industry

Consumer products businesses move at a pace few industries can match. Demand spikes overnight. Promotions flip the forecast. Shelf-life counts down. Retailers ramp up expectations. Customers expect everything, everywhere, fast.

Let’s chat
Consumer goods production

You can’t keep up with modern fulfilment using yesterday’s technology. What Consumer Products needs isn’t more SAP. It’s smarter, faster, connected SAP built for the realities of production lines, warehouses and distribution networks that never stop.

That’s where we come in.

The reality

This isn’t business as usual. This is business at high speed — and your SAP needs to keep up.

The pressures you face

Business & process pressures

  • Fulfilment expectations accelerating across retailers, marketplaces and D2C.
  • Promotional cycles creating unpredictable demand spikes and operational strain.
  • High waste risk from ageing stock, short shelf life and rotation challenges.
  • Sustainability targets tightening around packaging, energy use and waste.
  • Retailer compliance pressures (OTIF, DIFOT, labelling, packaging formats).
  • The need for a connected fulfilment strategy across wholesale, retail, marketplace and D2C all at once.
  • Constant margin pressure in a low-margin, high-volume environment.
What compounds it

SAP challenges exacerbating them

  • Aging IM/WM setups that can’t support automation, voice or modern integration.
  • Limited batch management sophistication causing traceability blind spots.
  • Production, quality, warehouse and transport teams running disconnected processes.
  • Gaps across SD/MM/EWM creating poor omnichannel visibility.
  • Forecasting, planning and promotions still handled in Excel.
  • Multi-warehouse operations struggling with inconsistent processes and master data.
  • Co-product/by-product complexity in food and beverage manufacturing.
