Case Study: Dr Pepper Snapple Group achieves faster time-to-market and 50% reduction in nutrition label creation time with Infor Optiva (Infor)

Dr Pepper Snapple Group speeds up new product launch and go-to-market time with Infor Optiva

Dr Pepper Snapple Group, a leading North American flavored beverage maker with more than 50 brands, faced a major challenge: comply with new FDA nutrition‑labeling rules while speeding new‑product development and go‑to‑market timelines. The company needed a solution to manage formulas, regulatory checks, and cross‑functional workflows without slowing innovation or adding manual work for its highly technical R&D teams.

DPS upgraded to Infor Optiva 11.2 to centralize knowledge management across R&D, procurement, quality and regulatory affairs, automating label creation and formula controls. The implementation cut nutrition‑label creation time by 50%, reduced label rework by 90%, eliminated five manual data‑entry steps, delivered a 53.8% cost advantage versus the nearest competitor estimate, and accelerated stage‑2 go‑live to six months—helping the company bring products to market faster with accurate ingredient and allergen information.
