How a Large Food Retailer (Coop) Benefited From Standardizing Their Food and Beverage Label Production Process

The Coop Group, the second-largest food retailer in Switzerland, realized the key to a successful digital transformation.

As more and more parts of the manufacturing process are being digitized, many food and beverage manufacturers are drowning in applications and online solutions. The plethora of IT systems out there are increasing the cost of IT support, burdening users and making it difficult for manufacturers to have consistent, standardized processes. This is not the brave new world that many companies envisioned when they embarked on the fourth Industrial Revolution.

Standardization Is the Key

For digital transformation to be successful, companies must choose platforms that are flexible, scalable and agnostic. They need platforms that enable standardization and centralization of information.

The Coop Group turned to NiceLabel to provide them with one label management platform that could standardize their entire label production process, across all sites and printers. The result was consistent, accurate labels throughout the organization and a greatly simplified IT landscape.

In this webinar, Peter Meier, Product & Sales Manager at Collamat, and Ken Moir, Vice President of Marketing at NiceLabel, will share how Coop standardized their labeling and how food and beverage manufacturers can benefit from standardizing on one label management system.

Find out how standardization:

• Improves label accuracy and consistency
• Reduces the IT burden and overall IT system footprint
• Simplifies end-user training
• Creates the best platform for future growth and expansion
• Enables food & beverage manufacturers to meet regulatory and regional label requirements
