The Story

The start-up was started in July 2021. The company was generating a good amount of revenue owing to its flavors, customer demand, and instant delivery services. However, the shortage in the supply of cardboard, aluminum cans, and plastic disrupted the sales and supply of the products. The lack of aluminum cans shortened the sales of beverages as the company didn’t have any alternatives for the packaging. Moreover, the shortage of cardboard boxes boiled down the sales of cakes and pastries. In addition to this, the company relied on one manufacturer for all their packaging needs and hence found themselves knee-deep in demand and supply challenges. Finally, the company realized the need to seek professional help and requested Research Nester for the same.

The Solution:

The company lacked in-depth knowledge of the supply and demand chain which disturbed the sales of its products. The gap between consumer demand and production was larger. Research Nester offered its supply and demand analysis consulting services solution to enable the organization to understand the logistics of the market and focus on mitigating these risks.

  • An extensive understanding of food packaging materials is needed.
  • Packaging materials can be purchased in bulk to balance the shortage of materials.
  • Plastic can be recycled to control carbon emissions.
  • Updating the app to inform the customers about the availability and delivery of products.
  • Bio-pouches can be used instead of aluminum cans to deliver beverages.
  • Cardboard boxes can be recycled. The boxes can be reused again instead of buying new ones.
  • The supply chain can be diversified which means collaboration with more manufacturers to reduce the risk of shortening materials.
