The Intelligent Enterprise for the Consumer Products Industry

There was once a time when the quality of a product could speak for itself, and as long as it was competitively priced, consumers would happily buy it. Now great product alone won’t cut it. Companies need to provide memorable customer experiences wherever their customers are. The omnichannel expectations can be overwhelming.

But the companies that have been able to meet these rising expectations by turning to technology to build better customer relationships are what SAP calls Intelligent Enterprises.

In The Intelligent Enterprise for the Consumer Products Industry, the Futurum Research team breaks down how to start taking advantage of moments of opportunity—those chances you have to connect with consumers in order to build a lasting relationship that will make a difference.

When you read this short brief you’ll learn:

  • What successful brands do to build relationships
  • How to make customers’ lives easier while still respecting their privacy
  • How to transform from a product-centered business model to an experience-centered model
  • The importance of sharing values with your customer base

Digital transformation in the consumer products industry can be tough, but it’s not impossible when you have the right roadmap to guide you. Of course, success will depend on your team making good use of emerging technology, such as AI and machine learning for chatbots, pattern detection, and image/speech recognition. Other technology that can improve the customer experience includes data platforms, blockchain, advanced analytics, and robotic process automation (RPA). All of this combined with the right mix of people and strategy can be exactly what your company needs to become an intelligent enterprise.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
