Master data management (MDM) enables digital transformation ​

Consumer goods manufacturers - or CPG companies - are facing multiple challenges, including:

Supply chain disruptions are revealing a need to be more agile, to be able to quickly shift suppliers, reduce product onboarding time and gain visibility into supplier performance.

Competition from retailers and smaller brands are driving CPGs into Direct-to-Consumer sales. This requires a sharpened focus on better customer experiences and on delivering consistent data to new and existing channels, such as ecommerce.

To meet these challenges, consumer goods manufacturers have many opportunities to engage in digital transformation. However, the foundation needed to make new technologies and processes efficient and profitable is trusted, high-quality and available data.

Stibo Systems helps companies like Kellogg's and Newell Brands unify and consolidate their product, location and party data for better customer experiences, brand management, nutrition information, as well as faster product onboarding and shorter time to market.

MDM initiatives continue to progress as a foundational component of digital transformation programs. Leading organizations draw a causal link between their master data (such as parties, products or assets) and the business outcomes it supports, including:

  • Customer/citizen/employee experience
  • Customer retention, cross-sell, upsell
  • Supply chain optimization
  • Risk and regulatory compliance
  • Accurate reporting
  • Time to market
