Microsoft Dynamics ERP in Food and Beverage Manufacturing Telesales and Direct Sales Guide This telesales and direct sales guide provides an overview of the information you will need to drive demand for Microsoft Dynamics ERP solutions with customers in food and beverage manufacturing. ®

BACKGROUND INFORMATION VERTICAL OVERVIEW The food and beverage (F&B) manufacturing vertical is a large worldwide market that includes the development, production, and distribution of nondurable consumable goods. The industry is struggling with low profit margins, increased regulatory pressures, and strengthening customer power. Regardless of where they are located or which markets they serve, nearly all food and beverage manufacturers experience similar issues. The need for operational productivity despite high workforce turnover is a constant in the industry, to ensure margins even when retail customers prefer to sell their own private label brands and consumers shop on price. Another constant is that F&B companies do not have direct access to demand data, but rely on retail and foodservice customers. Beyond those core needs, current challenges include: 1.

2.

Economic cycles and private label—The 2008–2009 recession occurred with such speed that few companies could match the changing demand for lower-cost meals and groceries. Many consumers switched to lowercost private label or store brands, giving retailers more influence. Consumer concerns and food safety—Consumers will pay a premium for foods and beverages offering safety assurances, health and energy

benefits, or eco-friendly practices. Food safety threats—from tainted ingredients, animal and plant diseases, infectious organisms, or undeclared allergens—are frequent, despite efforts to contain the problem. The inability to trace product quickly and recall only those with the hazard is costly. 3.

Market and product line expansion—Opportunities abound for companies developing solutions specifically for seniors, children, pets, preventive health, beauty or all-natural markets, and growing economies such as India and China. Varying labeling requirements and multi channel retail strategies lead to stock keeping unit (SKU) proliferation. More SKUs makes productivity challenging in every corner of the company—from production to packaging to logistics and marketing. Fortunately, programs to eliminate waste and increase training in the face of workforce turnover have delivered improved performance.

4.

Partner collaboration—As companies expand into new regions and markets, explore ways to use new ingredients, replace additives, and develop custom applications, they are partnering with other companies with greater expertise in these areas. This is all in addition to supply chain

Microsoft Dynamics ERP in Food and Beverage Manufacturing collaboration to reduce costs and satisfy consumers with demand sensing, supplier replenishment, pallet and item tracking, and packaging changes. At the same time, this complex value network makes traceability for food safety more challenging. 5.

6.

Regulations and sustainability—Government regulations affect processes for facilities, packaging, food safety, taxes, environmental protection, food ingredient and nutrition labeling, and worker health and safety. Additional programs focus on conserving energy and water, sourcing from those with sustainable, ecological, and humane practices, and limiting additives, pesticides, and hormones. To meet these regulations, companies must change processes and have data easily accessible. Additional regulations such as Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), shifting good manufacturing practices (GMP), and increasing waste disposal costs continue to challenge F&B firms. Workforce turnover—The companies most positive about the impact of sustainability on their bottom line appear also to be the most concerned about their human capital. Recruitment and retention is a top challenge to growth.

Technology plays an important role in enabling F&B manufacturers to respond to today’s market pressures. The investment in usable enterprise resource planning (ERP) tools that enhance the performance and productivity of F&B efforts can create competitive differentiation, which helps F&B manufacturers achieve superior revenue, share, and profit growth. Prospects may or may not know the value that an ERP solution can provide their organization. Their mind-set could be any of the following: Are using manufacturing-specific systems and fear losing any critical functionality in order to add ERP functionality. Have implemented an ERP solution such as SAP or Oracle and are dissatisfied with it due to the high cost of maintenance and the lack of flexibility. Are attempting to integrate multiple systems across their enterprise due to mergers and acquisitions.

PERCEPTIONS While an increasing number of F&B manufacturers are aware that Microsoft has an ERP solution, some might not believe that the Microsoft solution can scale to meet their transaction volume needs. Organizations may also think that because Microsoft does not offer a vertical version of ERP specifically for F&B manufacturing, that Microsoft Dynamics ERP isn’t right for them. Organizations may think that it is better to choose a more established vendor/product, such as SAP or Oracle, than a relatively new player in the market.

TARGET AUDIENCE Potential prospects are companies that: See ERP as a way to help manage complex inventory and distribution processes, institute new sustainability practices and respond more quickly to changing market conditions. See the need for collaboration between all parts of the design and supply chain as key to their ability to innovate rapidly, and to introduce new products into the market more quickly. Need better visibility into their customer data to be able to sense trends, take the lead in sustainability practices, and respond with targeted pricing and product mixes.

TARGET CONTACT Inside the prospect’s business, talk directly to the technology-influencing business decision maker (TI-BDM). While this could be virtually any senior individual in the company, the following are the most likely roles to be interested in ERP solutions: Heads of Operations, R&D, Production, Purchasing, Sales, Finance CEO/CIO/CTO/COO/CFO

TARGET NEEDS, PAIN POINTS, AND MICROSOFT DYNAMICS ERP BENEFITS Good candidates for an upgrade to a Microsoft Dynamics ERP solution may bring up any of the following needs or pain points. Microsoft Dynamics ERP addresses those issues with these related benefits. Needs Improving innovation success— F&B manufacturers must identify opportunities for new products at an early stage, collaborate internally and with partners, and create and deliver innovative products and delivery methods in a timely fashion to capture market share profitably. Driving sustainability leadership— F&B manufacturers need to identify opportunities for cost reductions and improved sustainability, and strive for environmental, ecological, and humane sustainability practices that are used as the basis for reducing costs, mitigating risk, and securing competitive advantage. Improving market responsiveness— F&B manufacturers need to sense and respond more quickly to the changing needs of customers and altered market circumstance, and implement technology to facilitate improved collaboration and execution with partners. Pain Points in the Vertical F&B manufacturers find it especially difficult to track end-consumer activity, making it difficult to forecast demand with any precision and resulting in over-stocked or under-stocked shelves. When customer preferences change, F&B manufacturers must be able to respond quickly with new products and pitches. Razor-thin margins demand F&B manufacturers practice sustainable, highly efficient business processes to cut waste, reduce packaging and shipping costs, minimize spoilage, and avoid saps on profitability. A lack of integration between marketing and R&D creates inefficiencies in developing and market-testing new products to help ensure the right products are getting to market at the right time.
