What food producers deal with
Sales and production on different plans
Sales, marketing and production plan separately, and the difference ends up as firefighting or stock.
Seasonal demand
Seasonal peaks have to be produced ahead, but every extra pallet ties up working capital.
Maintenance and shutdowns
Unplanned stops on a line cost a day of production.
Warehouses at capacity
Growth in production outpaces storage and dispatch.
What we solve as consultants
S&OP and planning processes
AG FOODS introduced S&OP with us and now works with one data‑driven plan and clear roles.
Production capacity planning
Capacity of lines and people aligned with the demand plan.
Maintenance
For a Czech food producer an independent audit produced seven prioritized projects with focus on prevention and efficient shutdowns.
Warehouses and logistics strategy
For Bonavita we built a 10‑year logistics strategy and recommended outsourcing instead of new construction.
Veritico for food producers
Demand forecasting
Forecasts per item and customer node, used for production, raw materials and distribution.
DC replenishment
Replenishment of warehouses and distribution nodes from the forecast.
Promotions
Promotions with retail chains planned and forecast before they reach production.
New products and seasonality
Seasonal profiles and new items planned from predecessors.
Together with the Logio team, we began our journey in 2012 to increase and maintain the availability of our products to a target level of 99%. Historically, the unavailability of our products has cost us unnecessarily high amounts. Veritico STOCK calculates sales forecasts to end customers for us, which we use not only for planning production and raw material consumption, but also for distribution down to the level of individual nodes in our distribution network. This allows us to shorten the overall delivery time.
Thanks to Logio, everyone on our team knows their role, what needs to be done, and why. It freed our hands for other activities and improved how the company works as a whole.
