Real-Time Supply Chain Signals Across A Co-Packer Network

Fuuz helped PepsiCo establish real-time supply chain communication with its co-packers and co-manufacturers, including Aaron Thomas Company and Qualpac. The data feeds PepsiCo's supply chain group in SAP Ariba, so it can better plan the delivery of products and packaging and fulfillment across a dispersed network.

The challenge

Where They Started

Brands that rely on co-packers and co-manufacturers often see their network through emails, spreadsheets and late reports. Planners make delivery and packaging decisions without knowing what is actually happening at each site.

  • Dispersed co-packer and co-man network
  • Production and inventory status reported late or by hand
  • Packaging and product deliveries planned without real-time signals
