Your world has transformed. How will you adapt?
Consumer Packaged Goods companies across the globe are facing unprecedented change and disruption. With supply chains and channels still recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, it’s harder than ever to ensure profitability, continuity and efficiency across CPG operations.
To succeed in today’s rapidly-shifting climate, CPG leaders must:
- Understand shifting customer needs and preferences as more buyers choose to source products directly from manufacturers
- Adapt to the rise in customer demand for personalised goods, and build flexible production processes that can support personalisation
- Utilise massive volumes of data generated by IoT-enabled processes and extract the valuable insights contained within them
- Meet strict sustainability regulations and ensure that standards are being upheld at every stage of their supply and value chains
- Optimise procurement strategies and continuously seek more cost-effective ways of sourcing materials to mitigate rising price and wage pressures

Supplier Engagement
Great procurement strategies are built on strong, mutually beneficial supplier relationships.

Supplier Risk Intelligence
For businesses with a large supplier base and complex supply chains, managing third-party supplier risk is a major challenge. 61% of CPOs feel procurement risks are increasing, 59% say they are unprepared to address them (Deloitte Global CPO Survey 2019 and The Hackett Group Survey 2019).

Transportation Analytics
Transportation typically accounts for around half of all supply chain costs. If an organisation lacks the insight needed to optimise transport operations, costs can spiral, other processes can suffer, and customer experiences can fall far short of modern expectations.

As this was my first professional workplace, I was quite nervous before I started. Fortunately, the culture and people quickly made that change. Together, they've made work easy, enjoyable, and really rewarding.

Right from my first interview, I knew working at The Smart Cube would be a great experience. I've grown immensely in my time here. To me, it's almost felt more like a managerial school than a business, because everyone I've dealt with has been so invested in my growth and development. Everyone puts quality and excellence first - it's an amazing culture to be a part of.

After initially leaving The Smart Cube to pursue a different opportunity, the sense of belonging and open, flexible culture quickly brought me back. It was an easy decision to make, and it feels as if I never left.
