Packaging Company Drives Digital Transformation with Syndigo MDM
Pivotree’s client is a leading supplier of packaging services with customers including companies in the beverage, food, personal care, pharmaceutical, household care, industrial, and coatings sectors.
The client’s desire to take the next step toward digital transformation led them to seek a robust technology solution, Syndigo, to help them envision and execute on their data management needs. Pivotree, a partner of Syndigo, provided the expertise around the implementation of the Syndigo MDM.
As a result of this initiative, the client developed key capabilities:
- Creation of a single source of truth for all customer, product, and supplier data
- Homogenization of customer records to enable customer-specific marketing
- Homogenization of supplier records to enable better cost management
The Challenge of Leveraging Data as a Transformative Asset
The packaging industry continues to be impacted by supply chain disruption, inflationary pressures on raw material prices, and global and domestic transportation rates. Having an advanced data management strategy and the right MDM tools plays an important role in tracking, organizing and enriching SKUs, and providing customers with the frictionless experience they expect from a market leader like this client.
Looking ahead, the client understood the need to transform the way they do business. Their team rightly deduced that having accurate data was at the heart of it all, and an MDM strategy, with powerful tools to enable it, would be the key to a successful transformation. Therefore, Syndigo was selected to be at the heart of the MDM strategy.
