Today's CPG industry is dealing with the following trends and pain points :

• globalization
• shorter product development cycles
• increasing regulatory requirements
• market rationalization
• increasing margin pressures

To answer all these requirements and to optimize your potential of innovation, Lascom CPG proposes to you a series of famous processes in the food sectors.

Tender and purchases

Every industry needs to speed up its customer response. Tender management process handles all the tasks that are related to tender reception and response. It is closely linked with the product data repository and benefits from recipe or product knowledge. The process can launch sub processes for each department inside the company.

Document Diffusion, distribution and validation (visa)

Diffusion process informs all participants of the latest related project information (data, documents, contracts, tenders ...). All users are notified "for information" or "for action" (the list not being limitative).

The complementary Visa function automates the burden of sending complex document or data folders for approval. Each user is individually notified but still has a global view of the validation folder.

Technical exchange portal

Technical exchange portal brings team effect and collaboration to a dispersed team.
Work folders are exchanged and tasks are assigned to participants. With the Exchange portal, food companies have a powerful tool to exchange complex folders with their suppliers or distributors
