Consumer Goods

The Consumer Goods Industry and Spigit



Overview: The lifeblood of the consumer products industry lies in its ability to improve and discover new products. Companies in this industry have established winning strategies for product innovation, but they don't usually tap into the full collective intelligence that is available to them because of the limits of old processes and technology. In addition, they haven't applied these same innovation techniques to improve other parts of their business such as Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing or Distribution.

Challenge: Consumer products companies both big and small need to cut the time it takes to bring products to market, increase margins and reduce the risk of product failure. These challenges become even more difficult across diverse organizations, contracting partners, and wide geographic boundaries. Constant reinvention, questioning assumptions and the search for what consumers want now is required to keep an organization at the top of its game.

Solution: Leaders in the consumer products industry use Spigit's powerful platform to drive innovation and bring forth the best ideas from their employees, partners and customers. We've helped solve challenges as narrowly defined as reducing salt in a product by 20% without decreasing taste, to as wide as asking what we could produce if there were no regulations on a product. These have led to incremental innovation as well as game changing ideas with a major impact.
