AI is not a given – the key to success lies in identifying the right fields of application.

Discovering potentials

Anyone working in the consumer goods industry is familiar with the challenges: Key account managers spend many hours preparing individual account plans and coordinating promotional activities. Marketing teams struggle to anticipate customers’ needs in time because market data is often fragmented and trends change rapidly. In customer service, complaints and inquiries have to be processed ever faster and with higher quality. In production, warehousing, and logistics, manual processes lead to errors, delays, and a lack of transparency—bottlenecks, overcapacity, or fluctuations in demand are often detected too late.

The intelligent use of artificial intelligence (AI) can fundamentally change these challenges. However, AI only unfolds its true value when it is strategically applied in the right places within the company.

Our expertise lies in developing solutions for the consumer goods industry across the entire value chain—from data-driven decision making and dynamic pricing to smart customer assistance and the intelligent automation of manual processes.

Our Approach

We combine deep industry expertise and industry-specific AI use cases with cutting-edge technology, turning them into tangible prototypes – always with a clear focus on delivering real value for your business processes.

In our interactive AI Discovery Workshops, we work together with your teams to develop creative and realistic AI use cases. We combine methods such as Design Thinking with in-depth AI expertise to address your specific challenges in sales and service, marketing, logistics, or the supply chain.

We provide your team with a clear understanding of AI fundamentals and multi-agent models, showcase current technologies and their potential, and create space for innovative ideas. At the end of the workshop, you will have a prioritized list of use cases that can be implemented quickly, as well as an initial roadmap for the next steps—from feasibility analysis to prototyping.

A central success factor for AI projects is the quality and availability of data. As part of our readiness checks, we systematically assess your existing data infrastructure, data sources, and their quality. We identify gaps, inconsistencies, or missing data that could hinder successful AI implementation. In addition, we evaluate the technical infrastructure regarding scalability, security, and data protection compliance.

Based on this technical maturity analysis, we show you the main levers for AI projects, provide recommendations for data preparation and integration, and prepare you optimally for the next project phases. In this way, we ensure that your AI initiatives are built on a solid foundation.

From idea to tangible results: Using agile methods, we develop prototypes that demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of the identified AI use cases. We prioritize the use cases together with you based on business impact, feasibility, and resource requirements.

Our prototypes provide you with concrete insights into the performance of the AI solutions and build trust among all stakeholders. At the same time, we develop a clear action plan with realistic timelines and responsibilities for scaling and integrating the solutions into your business processes. This ensures a practical and sustainable implementation.

We possess in-depth industry expertise in the consumer goods sector and develop AI solutions specifically tailored to itsunique requirements. Whether optimizing the supply chain, enhancing marketing campaigns through precise customer analytics, or automating service processes—we understand your industry's challenges and opportunities.

Our AI applications help identify trends more quickly, manage inventories efficiently, enable personalized customer engagement, and develop innovative products. In this way, we create competitive advantages exactly where consumer goods companies can derive the greatest benefit from AI.
