CG companies confront new import rules

The art of attracting and retaining customers is a sizeable challenge for the CG industry.

Crushed by two years of steep revenue decline, the consulting arena has transformed.

As the consumer goods landscape changes due to the mergers and acquisitions driven by the industry's leading players, the question of how the combined companies manage and integrate separate I.S. entities into a new whole becomes paramount for long-term success and efficiencies across the enterprise and supply chain.

Nearly every CG company has found itself overwhelmed by the sheer volume of customer information that passes its way nearly every day.

Three years ago the Scotts Company was turning inventory twice a year, which may not sound like much to a company that does 50 turns a year like Dell.

Improving the bottom line involves more than just deploying the latest technology.

Today's CG supply chain is akin to the spilt personality of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
