Food retailers, food manufacturers and quick-service restaurants across North America can bring their products to market more safely, quickly and efficiently, employing innovative software solutions from MICROS Retail and Supply Chain.
The company, a leading provider of product lifecycle management and food-safety compliance software, is launching its myCreations portfolio in North America. A complete suite of integrated applications, myCreations enables food-industry clients to:
- Ensure that consumers get safe, high-quality food products
- Bring products to market faster, through better collaboration and innovation within the supply chain
- Protect their brands
- Achieve greater profitability through greatly improved efficiencies
Employing myCreations, food-industry clients can immediately access reliable data on product ingredients, ingredient sources and manufacturing processes to ensure a high level of product quality and to meet all regulatory compliance and quality standards—protecting consumers and vastly reducing potential risk to their brands. In the event of a product recall, myCreations users can respond quickly and reliably, with incident response time improved by as much as 90 percent.
Based on the experiences of current clients around the world, myCreations has proven to deliver efficiency gains of up to 40 percent. Users of the software applications can overcome existing challenges to their businesses, such as inconsistent data input. For example, clients currently obtain product information from their suppliers by a variety of methods, including “snail mail,” which then has to be re-entered into their systems. Workflow tools employed within myCreations improve data entry speed by about 70 percent.
MyCreations also delivers better data accuracy over fragmented and legacy internal systems, and it automates several manual processes. Multiple processes are handled through a single portal, eliminating the need for multiple systems and addressing the issue of time-consuming access to limited, uncontrolled data. Approximately 60 percent of administration time is eliminated from the entire supply-chain process.
“MICROS Retail and Supply Chain has been a global-leading provider of product lifecycle management and food-safety software since we introduced the first-ever PLM solution for private-label goods in 1995,” said Paul Woodward, CEO, MICROS Retail and Supply Chain.
“Now, clients across North America can ensure greater food safety and higher quality for consumers utilizing our complete solutions that are specifically designed and developed for the food industry.”
Woodward noted that MICROS Retail and Supply Chain is poised to take advantage of the enormous growth potential in private label goods consumption in North America. Current estimates show that, in the U.S. alone, consumption of private label products is about 20 percent of the market, compared to about 40 percent in the U.K.
MICROS Retail and Supply Chain has an active North American supplier on-boarding program in place, which has established sites with numerous clients in the USA and Canada. These and other myCreations clients are offered the best of both worlds, either an off-the-shelf solution or a fully customized option tailored to meet their specific needs.
