Cracking digital with Danone specialised nutrition
In the last 10 years, we have seen a shift in traditional end-consumer buying drivers from the traditional trio (taste, price, and convenience) to a more rich set of values including health, safety, sustainability, and transparency. This trend has been reinforced by social networks and mobile apps and supported by new regulations. This is why food and beverage operations need complete traceable and transparent information across the supply chain. Learn why and how to build a successful and integrated end-to-end traceability approach.
