WBSRocks: Scaling Growth with AI, Enterprise Software, and Digital Transformation WBSP280: Grow Your Business by Learning Field-To-Fork Business Processes Best Practices, a Live Interview w/ a Panel of Experts
Agriculture and F&B industries are unique beasts when it comes to their ERP needs. They have unique traceability requirements that you might not find with most companies. They also have unique formulation, and their product management processes are fairly involved. One process that is unique with these industries is the field-to-fork process, where the traceability and farm accounting requirements might throw your ERP implementation off if you have not selected the right tool designed for this industry. And then, the process doesn't end even if you have shipped the goods from your dock due to the recall requirements.
In today's episode, we invited a panel of cross-functional experts for a live interview on LinkedIn who brings significant expertise to discuss Field-to-fork business processes and best practices. We covered many grounds, including the scope, process boundaries, food production and catchweight issues, and the challenges in accounting and business processes because of the uncertainty of the processes. Finally, we discussed the shipping cost and traceability issues in the seafood industry, and why the agriculture industry faces unique challenges even if pharma and MedTech are able to manage similar challenges due to the advancements with standards in those industries.
