Times are challenging for Food, Beverage and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) companies. In fact, certain industry analysts have declared that the industry is "under siege"; Manufacturers and distributors of food, beverages, and personal products find themselves dealing with smart consumers who want quality products at a low price. In addition, mergers and acquisitions in the CPG industry are reducing the number of players in the marketplace, creating more powerful retailers that are pressuring CPG companies to improve quality and lower costs.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne integrated software solution allows CPG companies to cost-effectively increase revenue while decreasing costs and increasing asset utilization. Our solution can help you:

• Meet escalating customer expectations and supply chain service levels
