The client, a multinational CPG company, faced significant challenges in managing their raw materials across multiple production facilities. Their existing manual tracking system was prone to errors, leading to production delays, stockouts, and increased waste. They needed a centralized, automated material tracking system to gain real-time visibility into their inventory levels, track material movement, and optimize their production planning.
The manual, paper-based system resulted in inaccurate inventory data, leading to frequent production halts due to unexpected material shortages.
The absence of a real-time material tracking system made it difficult to track material movement within the facilities, leading to delays in identifying and addressing bottlenecks.
Inaccurate inventory data and lack of real-time visibility hampered production planning, resulting in missed deadlines and increased production costs.
Poor material tracking led to expired ingredients and wasted raw materials, impacting the company's bottom line.
The existing system provided limited data insights, hindering the company's ability to identify areas for improvement and optimize their material management processes.
This case study explores how Quantzig partnered with a leading CPG manufacturer struggling with inefficient material tracking processes. Facing mounting pressure to optimize production and reduce waste, the company sought a solution that could provide real-time visibility into their material flow. By leveraging the power of a low-code platform , Quantzig designed and implemented a robust automated material tracking system that transformed their manufacturing operations.
