Consumer goods move fast.
Your systems should too.

Demand to cash. On one platform.
Demand Planning & Forecasting
ITOM aggregates demand signals from retailer POS, warehouse outbound, and historical shipments. ML models generate 13-week rolling forecasts at SKU-location level with automated retraining when MAPE exceeds 18%.
Order Management & Fulfillment
CSM manages the full order-to-cash lifecycle with automated SLA milestone tracking. Fulfillment exceptions trigger coordinated resolution across sales, logistics, and finance — no manual handoffs between departments.
Trade Promotion Management
Custom App Engine application managing planning, deduction accrual, claim submission, and reconciliation. Deduction aging dashboards flag claims exceeding 45 days unresolved with auto-escalation.
Quality & Compliance
ITSM tracks every consumer complaint and quality hold from report through CAPA closure. FSMA and GFSI audit readiness maintained through automated evidence collection and recurring defect pattern detection.
Supply Chain Visibility
ITOM Discovery maps the supply chain network into an operational topology view. Supplier portals provide real-time inventory, schedule, and quality hold visibility with single-source risk scoring per active SKU.
Customer Service Automation
CSM with Virtual Agent handles order status inquiries and disputes through conversational self-service, resolving 40–55% of contacts without agent involvement. Agent workspace auto-loads full account and order context.
CPG transformations.
GreatWest Foods

ServiceNow ITOM for demand sensing, App Engine for trade promotion lifecycle, and Integration Hub connecting retailer POS data, WMS, and ERP into a single demand-to-cash platform.

Coastal Distributors
Order-to-cash cycle averaging 16 days with $126M in disputed AR — mostly deductions retailers took without documentation. Customer service handled 2,400 deduction-related inquiries monthly with 12-day average resolution.
ServiceNow CSM with automated deduction intake, retailer portal for document submission, and workflow routing disputed amounts to sales, logistics, or finance based on deduction code.
