Consumer Goods

Driven by Your Customer Focus

Consumer Goods

The Consumer Goods industry is currently facing increasing demands from both the government and the Retail industry. The rising importance of brand names, in conjunction with decreased demand, is forcing organizations to become more efficient in order to boost returns through improved performance.

IDS Scheer helps Consumer Goods and Retail companies to streamline their processes, cut stock levels and reduce out-of-stocks:

  • Within their own value chain
  • In supplier partnerships (Supplier Relationship Management)
  • Working together with retail organizations (Continuous Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment & Vendor Managed Inventory)

Our consultants begin by examining your business processes in terms of:

  • Improving sales planning through the use of statistics and forecasts
  • Applying market research to product positioning (category management)
  • Globally synchronizing master data management
  • Optimizing your supply chain based on our Supply Chain Management (SCM) experience. As a member of the Supply Chain Council, IDS Scheer has access to the latest project results and reference models.

IDS Scheer offers a full range of consulting services based on ARIS Value Engineering (AVE), a unique methodology that enables the optimization of your complete product and service lifecycles. We have completed numerous projects assisting Consumer Goods companies with process optimization and process-based implementations of key industry technologies, such as RFID.

In addition to an extensive range of industry-specific best practices for SAP platforms (ERP, CRM, APO), IDS Scheer offers ARIS SmartPath for Consumer Goods — a bundled solution of SAP All-in-One software, industry-specific ARIS Reference Models and implementation services.
