Consumer goods companies face rising pressure from regulators, retailers, investors, and consumers to operate sustainably.

Yet most sustainability programs rely on fragmented data, manual reporting, and reactive compliance. AI gives CPG leaders a way to measure … Read more
In consumer goods, the shelf is where strategy becomes reality. Even the best product, promotion, or pricing strategy fails if execution breaks down in‑store.

Promotions, seasonality, retailer behaviors, weather, social trends, and competitive actions all shift demand in ways that traditional forecasting models struggle to capture. The result is familiar: stockouts that hurt revenue, overstocks that tie up working capital, and production plans that swing … Read more
