Strengthen Supply Chain Resiliency with AWS

Supply chains pose a complex challenge for CPG companies as they orchestrate millions of moving parts. Savvy businesses are building agility into their supply chains by optimizing every element of the process.

The Autonomous Journey:  Transforming Demand Planning in CPG and Retail Supply Chains

Do you want to learn how you can add resiliency to your supply chain so you’re not left flat-footed when the next disruption occurs?

Modernize and optimize your supply chain with AWS
Improve supply chain resiliency with the broadest set of purpose-built, scalable data and ML services to help ensure product availability, optimize inventory, and cut costs. With AWS, you can manage your inventory throughout your supply chain, deliver to your customers with precision, and improve operational efficiencies—instead of maintaining the IT infrastructure to make it happen.

Benefits

Ensure product availability
Use real-time supply chain visibility and AI to improve forecast accuracy up to 50%; predict potential out-of-stock risks from raw material disruptions, manufacturing issues, and potential delivery delays; and develop strategies to reduced late deliveries by 60%.
Optimize inventory levels
AWS improves forecasting, inventory management, warehousing, transportation, and logistics operations to ensure you meet on-time, in-full (OTIF) requirements and increase inventory turns.
Cut supply chain costs
Reduce fulfillment and transportation costs by as much as 20%. AWS has over 25 years of experience optimizing multi-channel fulfillment and logistics to deliver on time and minimize costs.

Improve supply chain resilience and agility while reducing costs

With AWS, CPG companies can gain end-to-end visibility to track and trace products through the entire supply chain, break down data silos across the supply network, and use AI to identify potential risks, improve forecasts, optimize inventory, and reduce distribution costs.
