Sustainable food manufacturing requires that we focus on eliminating waste (not just scrap). A ‘win-win’ for the industry and the environment. Here’s how Data Science can be applied to 5 key areas of food manufacturing to improve sustainability.
Haystack helps food processors optimize operations, lower costs, and drive growth by gaining more control & value from their data.
Food processors and manufacturers face many challenges. From maintaining customer & distributor commitments, to evolving technical and regulatory landscapes. With the right data solutions partner, food manufacturers can better manage their business by putting their data to work for them.
Haystack Data Solutions has the experience to help you modernize your analytics and make sense of all the data your food business produces. We have deep food industry expertise and first-hand knowledge developing operational and back-office data solutions that matter most to food processors and manufacturers. Below are just a few examples of what we can do to support your business.
A food processor wanted a cultural shift to become more data-informed. They also wanted to understand the full scope of their current analytics practices and leverage the metrics that would impact their bottom line.
Using our proven F.A.R.M.™ strategic framework, we diagnosed existing practices, delivered future-proof technology roadmaps, and initiated an analytics council that aligned the right people, data, and tools to create a modern, data-driven organization.
A food processor found it hard to reconcile inventory positions at month-end to adjust COGS & align with shipment transactions.
Data from their ERP & WMS systems was pulled & blended to create a dashboard where accurate inventory positions and open orders were reported in real-time across the entire organization.
A food manufacturer would track actual vs. budget sales volume manually in spreadsheets. This process was error prone and did not allow them to forecast future production runs accurately.
We created a database to capture volume & margin budget data, automatically compared against actual sales, and ran a regression model to help forecast future volume based on historical sales by customer, rep, or item.
A food processor wanted to be alerted when customers with new orders reached their credit limit.
We created a bot that automatically flags orders when credit thresholds are reached & sends alerts for approval.
A food processor ran their entire operations on an outdated legacy ERP system that lived on-premises. They were unable to aggregate data across the business and used spreadsheets to power critical processes.
We scoped and helped deploy a modern cloud-based ERP while helping them migrate their data and 3rd party ISV apps to the cloud, giving them a 360° view of their business and customers.
A food manufacturer wanted more transparency from their progress toward their sustainability goals. With Six North American plants using different systems to track waste and energy usage, there were many data silos to eliminate.
We designed automated workflows to connect to each plant’s systems and harmonize their data to tell a consistent story, then published accurate sustainability metrics into a customer portal.
