Baked goods manufacturers operate in one of the most complex production environments in the food industry – high volumes, tight freshness requirements, frozen logistics, and thousands of SKUs moving through nonstop production lines.
Yet many planning teams are still relying on spreadsheets or disconnected tools that can’t keep up.
The case study focuses on Europastry. The frozen bakery company needed a smart, coordinated approach to planning and scheduling the production of over 4,000 types of baked goods across 27 factories, which it delivers to hundreds of distributors daily. Learn how they modernized their planning approach – moving from manual, reactive processes to connected, data-driven decision-making supported by advanced planning capabilities. It’s inspired by a real transformation story from a multinational frozen bakery manufacturer.
