How GEP Helped a Global Fresh Produce Company Unlock Millions in Savings
For companies dealing in fresh produce, even small disruptions in supply chain efficiency can result in significant financial setbacks. A Fortune 500 company learned this the hard way, when it faced €12.2 million in potential losses from supply-demand mismatch.
To address this challenge, it partnered with GEP and implemented a strategic supply chain transformation program, shifting from manual processes to an integrated business planning (IBP) approach. This move resulted in millions in annual savings and a substantial reduction in staffing, while also improving forecast accuracy and minimizing supply chain disruptions.
