INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
Compliance and quality requirements demand accurate and timely
visibility into the entire product lifecycle.
Real-time information is key to optimizing materials, costs and labor,
enabling significant time and cost savings.
Seasonal, perishable inventory needs to be tracked, monitored and
managed through all phases of the production cycle to ensure speed
and quality.
Efficient uptime of assets and equipment is critical, even on job sites
with non-existent network connectivity.

MOBILE SUPPLY CHAIN
SUCCESS
With a mobile supply chain, Old Dutch Foods can now connect production data to raw material inventory stock,
which allows for a more accurate match of supply and demand. As a result, the company has reduced spoilage
and ingredient shortages, which not only protects product quality—it also prevents in-store product
rationing that could compromise the customer experience.
