Mcel - For Consumer Goods Manufacturers

Market Overview

Product Information is everywhere. In back end systems, in spreadsheets, on paper forms and even in people's heads. The benefits of having all this information accessible from one, central repository is obvious to any organisation – think of the improvements it would make to invoicing, resolving customer queries, warehouse management to name just a few.

With Consumer Goods Manufacturers being pressed by Retailers to adopt numerous new initiatives such as GDS and RFID in order to keep their business, now is the time for organisations to really embrace the concept of a single view of product information throughout the enterprise.

Retail mandates shouldn't be seen as bad news, conversely they should be taken as the opportunity to implement a robust product data infrastructure to deliver benefits across the whole supply chain, to retailers and suppliers alike. If manufacturers take these mandates one step at a time they will see that the benefits in the long run will outweigh the efforts required upfront. The important thing for Consumer Goods organisations to consider is the scalability of the solution they choose so that they can meet the mandates today and scale the solution tomorrow to deliver the internal benefits they identify.

Mcel can provide a number of technologies to help Consumer Goods manufacturers better manage their product data to both deliver Retail mandates and achieve internal benefits.

Mcel delivers solutions for:

• Product Information Management.
• Global Data Synchronisation (GDS).
• RFID Data Management.
