The Challenge

At the start of the pandemic, Mondelēz doubled down on its long-term strategy to accelerate consumer-centric growth. Part of this strategy involved replacing outmoded, disconnected systems and tools for innovation process management. The company needed a single solution for managing its innovation portfolio, resources, demand planning, and project execution.

Disconnected legacy systems hamper timely insights, decision-making, and resource allocation
A lack of transparency in the innovation portfolio slows project management and complicates governance
Outdated and fragmented analytics create a lack of innovation project visibility across global teams

The Customer

Mondelēz International

About The Customer

Mondelēz International is a global food and beverage leader with a stable of well-known brands like Cadbury, Oreo, and many other household names. The company faced the global disruption of COVID-19 head-on by deploying Sopheon software as a new, enterprise-wide platform for innovation portfolio and process management.

The Solution

In a typical year, Mondelēz conducts more than 6,500 product-related project activities. Using a Stage-Gate® approach, the company identifies, defines, and plans the resources allocated to these projects. However, without clear visibility of product strategy and insights, NPD decisions cannot be made based on real-time information.

Sopheon worked with Mondelēz International to deploy Accolade software rapidly, with a focus on driving adoption across the global enterprise. Together with Sopheon, Mondelēz International built the initial Accolade implementation in just nine weeks, followed by four weeks of testing and validation.

Building on the idea of creating a “single source of truth,” Mondelēz International and Sopheon addressed an immediate need: retiring outmoded processes and disconnected software solutions, then merging those functions into Accolade.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage

When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers

For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Coca Cola Swaziland Conco Case Study

Coco Cola Swaziland, South Africa would like to find a solution that would enable the following results: - Reduce energy consumption by 20% in one year. - Formulate a series of strategic initiatives that would enlist the commitment of corporate management and create employee awareness while helping meet departmental targets and investing in tools that assist with energy management. - Formulate a series of tactical initiatives that would optimize energy usage on the shop floor. These would include charging forklifts and running cold rooms only during off-peak periods, running the dust extractors only during working hours and basing lights and air-conditioning on someone’s presence. - Increase visibility into the factory and other processes. - Enable limited, non-intrusive control functions for certain processes.
