Food business performance evaluation

Lawson M3 Analytics for Food & Beverage is an application that helps food companies access meaningful business intelligence to improve decision making without having to develop analytics tools in house.

The application helps food companies simplify deployment of a complete package of business intelligence tools. The application includes 70 preconfigured key performance indicators and 50 pre-built scorecard reports commonly used by food companies. Sample KPIs include day sales outstanding, inventory turnover, delivery performance and gross margin percentage. Sample scorecards highlight critical data such as sales versus budget, supplier performance, production variances and customer debt.

By packaging a specific set of KPIs and scorecards for food and beverage companies, Lawson gives users a more complete, measurable view of their operations in a few short weeks.

Lawson Analytics for Food & Beverage helps food companies benchmark, measure and improve performance in five key areas: sales, finance, procurement, production and the warehouse. It enables tracking of multiple performance metrics by individual product, customer and account manager to help decision makers identify underperforming operational areas in time to help them take action. The application also helps food companies eliminate unnecessary reports so decision makers receive the right information at the right time.
