The Consumer Goods industry is undergoing a massive digital transformation right now. The lack of digital presence and disconnected supply chains have caused stores to close at a rapid rate these past 2 years. A recent Salesforce report found that 54% of end consumers surveyed prefer to buy online. Add on the effects of COVID-19, and now 87% of shoppers begin their hunt in digital channels – up 71% from last year! The Consumer Goods industry requires a digital and accessible solution from anywhere, allowing you to build smarter and personalized B2B engagements at scale with AI-powered insights. Salesforce’s Consumer Goods Cloud helps improve field execution, account planning, promotions, channel partner relationships, and more.
Exposed Archaic Business Processes
The COVID-19 Pandemic has exposed the archaic “old-fashioned‘ ways of the Consumer Goods Industry. Lack of visibility into supply chains was already an issue before COVID-19, but with the pandemic outbreak, 56% of global retailers reported moderate disruption in their supply chains as a result of COVID-19 whereas 12% reported heavy disruption. Additionally, CG companies face visibility issues into shelf management with the increasingly tough job to keep inventory levels adequate as sales plunge and rise. Using spreadsheets to track key information and data is no longer sustainable. Unreliable and outdated data is when companies start to make bad business decisions, leading to wasted money and time on poor in-store execution. Consumer Goods companies need to understand in real-time how well their products are selling, what’s needed in the physical stores, and which locations need attention from field representatives. Innovative technology along with Artificial Intelligence is helping companies gain a competitive edge to become more data-driven. Salesforce’s Consumer Goods Cloud is helping companies accelerate account and retail growth.
