Digital redefines insight and customer relationships for CPG companies
There are so many areas in which CPG companies are redefining relationships and opportunities through digital. From mass personalization of packaged products through to value-added online services, the impact of digital transformation is everywhere.
But it’s about a lot more than marketing and communications strategies. When consumers are permanently connected, active dialog with customers drives both loyalty and new business development for forward-thinking CPG companies.
Business and supply chain relationships change too. New online sales and distribution models become an important complement, or even an alternative to relationships with more traditional retailers.
For even the most established brands, data-driven agility now becomes key to continuous and sustained advantage. Knowing how to anticipate and exploit constantly changing opportunity demands a whole new digital skillset.
As a partner in digital transformation, Atos will ensure that the design and execution of your digital strategy remains intelligent, adaptive and focused.
