US Food Company - Customer Case Study

A fast-growing, U.S.-based healthy alternative food company sought JAGGAER’s help in turning their supply chain into a competitive advantage. They wanted their brands to have first-mover advantage when a new health trend arose—whether it be the demand for foods with or without certain ingredients, or a whole new consumer goods product entirely, they knew that regularly being the first to market would position them as a leader in the space. It would also allow them to better drive revenues from these trends, whose windows of opportunity seem to shrink with each new wave. JAGGAER’s CPG suite of tools empowered the company to streamline its procurement and supplier management, paving the way for a faster turnaround time between identification of a new product to be sold and actually getting it packaged and out the door. This saved considerable costs in the process, but importantly it also put them in a position to react more nimbly to changing consumer tastes. With a speedy, more efficient bidding process thanks to JAGGER’s ASO solution, they are now able to quickly bring new suppliers on (or procure new items from current suppliers) when the market shifts and a new material is needed in response. Our Supplier Management assures those new suppliers are (and remain) a good fit for the company. Additionally, managing inventory with JAGGAER’s top rated eProcurement solution helps them make sure it is optimally efficient in its buying and transportation activities, and doesn’t over-commit to a product that will be less in demand when consumer preference shifts –that way it’s ready to move to the next hot product when it arrives.
