Research Reports

RIS and CGT uncover the analytic shifts happening in retail and consumer goods today and benchmark the industry’s analytic maturity in this interactive and exclusive report.

Just five short months ago, the consumer goods industry was focused on building a supply chain to support the omnichannel era, focusing on four key areas: demand planning, fulfillment, manufacturing, and last-mile delivery. However, since then the industry has been flipped on its head.

Just as coronavirus has put a lot of business initiatives on the fast-track, the grocery delivery platform has been forced to share data with CPGs earlier than planned in order to help supply chains.

Product manufacturers are rebuilding supply chains to meet the needs of omnichannel commerce.

Analytics technologies are advancing at a rapid pace, while a broader range of data sources offer the potential for unprecedented new insights into every aspect of the business — most especially the all-important consumer.

In a fast-evolving, increasingly data-driven marketplace, consumer goods companies and retailers must progress along the maturity curve in traditional analytics practices even as the number of business areas that require analytics expertise continues to explode.

CGT’s 10th annual analytics study again surveyed both consumer goods and retailer executives to uncover a 360-degree view of analytics maturity and data sharing across the industry landscape.

The evolution toward an omnichannel marketplace is driving a revolution within the consumer goods supply chain, as companies rebuild their traditional practices in response to radically different consumer behavior. CGT examines the state of the consumer goods supply chain in this fifth-annual report.
