Case Study: a leading global food and beverage producer reduces finished goods waste with C5i AI-powered insights

Finished Goods Waste Reduction using AI-powered Insights

A leading global food and beverage producer faced a major challenge with finished goods waste, an issue costing the company an estimated $100 million annually. The waste was primarily caused by products expiring, being damaged in transit or storage, and customer returns. To address this, the company partnered with C5i to leverage its AI-powered augmented analytics platform, Discovery, to gain insights and reduce this significant loss.

C5i implemented a solution that connected multiple data sources across the supply chain. Their platform used machine learning models to provide real-time visibility into waste, identifying key causal factors and generating prescriptive recommendations. This enabled site managers to take preemptive actions. The outcome was widespread adoption of the platform as a single source of truth and the potential for a 30% decrease in inventory waste through actionable alerts from C5i's system.
