Consumers and governments respectively are becoming increasingly more demanding in terms of food safety and health and the provision of detailed product information. Food recalls and scandals have illustrated the devastating impact that food safety issues can have on sales and, even worse, brand value. These risks can be mitigated by a detailed traceability policy but more importantly, there is a lot of opportunity to be gained by moving beyond the regulatory pressures and embracing end-to-end traceability as a business differentiator.
Ultimately, however, food & beverage manufacturers need to determine where they want to be on the traceability spectrum. Here are some actions to consider:
Consider moving from a reactive (regulatory, cost-driven approach) to a proactive (value-add) approach Consider enterprise application software for end-to-end visibility of operational processes across the value chain Use traceability as the business case for digital transformation Download the report now to learn more!

The Future of Food & Beverage Manufacturing: Tips on How to Avoid Costly Prod...
20 Sep 2021 at 3:50pm
Safety is crucial for every successful food and beverage manufacturer. These businesses are responsible for producing safe products that contain the ingredients and nutrition they promise, ensuring they are entirely safe for consumption.
In addition, giving consumers accurate information allows them to make informed choices. For example, many millennials want the businesses they buy food and drink from to be socially responsible and ethical. Thus, they’re asking more questions about where products are produced, and how.
There should be no surprise that throughout the world there are regulatory bodies and often very strict food and beverage standards.
Legislation such as the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act in the US has given government agencies more power to intervene with a food and beverage manufacturer’s operation. As a result, product recalls have become more commonplace in the food and beverage industry.

Deliver unprecedented connected guest experiences with IoT-enabled hotel of t...
16 Aug 2021 at 12:00am
The hospitality industry is looking to make some new moves. Hospitality leaders want to open a direct channel to interact with guests based on capabilities they’re already using extensively. They want their guests to receive a personalized greeting upon arrival. And they want to inform guests about available amenities of interest, based on what they know about individual guests – including when and where they’re on the property.
In short, they want guests to feel known, appreciated and informed.
The reasons to provide this level of service are simple. Leading hospitality companies want their guests to feel well cared for because that’s what drives affinity and loyalty. Plus, informing guests of relevant offers and amenities can produce additional, immediate revenue.
There has never been more data available to deliver exactly this type of connected experience. After all, a growing number of guests use mobile apps to guide their hospitality experience. Many more plug into hotel Wi-Fi once they’re on the property. And virtually all are constantly texting. Hospitality companies now have the ability to connect with their guests and know exactly where they are.
This is the part – connected experience delivery – where things can get complicated. It’s one thing to know guests are constantly generating data that could help hospitality service delivery teams create a transformative, personalized guest experience. But combining the on-property network infrastructure, IoT-connected devices and assets, mobility and location applications, data compute and processing power, and advanced analytics capabilities needed to put all that data to its best use introduces real business complexity.
That’s where Pinnacle Solutions, SAS, Cisco and Intel, working together, can make all the difference.

Differentiate your customer experience through real-time insights
16 Aug 2021 at 12:00am
Loyalty programs were designed to understand purchase behavior and reward customers. Now they’re a tool through which retailers and customer-centric service providers can form a more intimate relationship with consumers. Internet of Things (IoT) devices combined with analytics capabilities (including AI) promise to make this goal more achievable by adding real-time contextual awareness to products and services. From wearables to cars to in-store beacons, IoT data becomes a rich source of information about consumer preferences and behaviors. Combining traditional and IoT data helps companies get much closer to each consumer so they can deliver unique, value-added services and targeted offers.
Analysts expect the IoT to soar to tens of billions of devices by 2020. But it’s not enough to simply collect data from connected consumers, sensors, systems or products. IoT presents many challenges due to the complexity of capturing and analyzing extreme volumes and varieties of data from ever-increasing numbers of things. It’s critical to understand which data is relevant so you’ll know what to store versus ignore. A trusted, automated solution gives flexibility about where, when and how to manage and analyze IoT data. So you can capture value in real time – whether customers are walking down store aisles or driving to their favorite restaurants.
