FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) - everyday products that are frequently purchased, quickly consumed, and have a relatively low unit price. These are usually short life cycle goods with low margins but high turnover.

Challenges in the FMCG Sector

The most serious problems facing the modern FMCG sector (an abbreviation for "Fast Moving Consumer Goods") include rising operational costs and legislative instability, exemplified by the chaotic introduction of the deposit system (Hurt & Detal, 2024). At the same time, consumer expectations are growing, with an increasing preference for functional products in the premium segment, forcing producers to innovate, protect the environment, and engage in rational production (Innova Market Insights, 2024). Additional pressure comes from cheap imports, mainly from Ukraine, and EU regulations such as the Green Deal, which have led to numerous farmer protests (AP News, 2024). Moreover, the sector is highly fragmented, with over 33,000 companies operating in it, making consolidation and new investments difficult (Sekwencja, 2024).

Benefits of Implementing Software for FMCG

1. Optimization of Inventory and Supply Chain Management

ERP systems enable precise monitoring of inventory levels, product expiration dates, and automation of ordering processes. This allows companies to minimize losses associated with expired products and avoid excessive inventory. Implementing ERP can lead to a reduction in internal losses and food waste.

2. Automation of Business Processes

FMCG ERP automates key processes such as accounting, order management, and production planning. In the food industry, where operations are on a large scale, automating these processes translates into increased operational efficiency and cost reduction.

In the FMCG industry, where customer loyalty is crucial, such solutions contribute to increased customer satisfaction and retention.
