What are the major issues affecting the food industry?

The Food manufacturing industry faces critical challenges such as a shortage of workers with potential trillion-dollar economic consequences, high employee turnover, and the associated training costs. Outdated and disperse software systems hinder managers from a holistic view of operations, and general inflation pressures impact profitability. Additionally, inefficiencies stemming from manual data entry and complex regulations result in food security issues.

• Lack of workers: Manufacturing industry could face a shortfall of 2.1 million jobs by 2030 in the US alone—which could cost the economy up to $1 trillion *

• Staff Churn’s Hidden Costs: Beyond recruitment and training, the food industry is amongst the industries with higher employee churn, resulting in high turnover costs in lost productivity.

• Employee Training Money Pit: Companies are spending money retraining in a high-turnover landscape.

• Aging Tech Landscape: The industry is bogged down by decades old software solutions that are disperse and unconnected, presenting a fragmenting view of their operations. Factory managers need a holistic overview of the entire production process in real time to make informed decisions.

• Inefficiencies Costing Millions: Manual data entry and more complex regulation requirements are bleeding food companies dry with errors and inefficiencies resulting in food security issues with traceability inconsistencies.

• General inflation of input costs: raw materials, utilities, and people and other costs outside of companies control are increasingly putting pressure on the bottom line. Companies need to focus on optimizing operations to squeeze in new efficiencies to combat inflation pressures
