Tool Sprawl Risk Audit — Food and Beverage

Find out how much spreadsheet and SaaS sprawl is costing Food and Beverage — and where a purpose-built internal tool pays off.

Signs of tool sprawl in Food and Beverage

Demand spikes (weather events, social trends, promo lifts) blow up the forecast — service levels crash, expedited freight eats margin, and the sales team blames supply for missed displays.
Cold-chain visibility ends at the DC dock — a temperature excursion in a third-party reefer becomes a quality recall the brand discovers in a customer complaint.
Trade promotion spending is 15-25% of net revenue and the lift analysis is a backward-looking quarterly fire drill — nobody can tell which promos actually drive incremental volume.
Production scheduling on flex lines is a daily war between sales, ops, and the master scheduler — minor SKU swaps cost hours of changeover and the changeover data isn't even tracked.

Whether your operational data lives in one place or is scattered across tools.

1.Where does your core operational data live?

2.How many tools/spreadsheets hold 'the truth' for one workflow?

Send us the result and the constraint behind it. We’ll scope the diagnostic, sprint, or build that fixes what the score reveals.
