Powershelf Presented at Conference Sponsored by GE Digital and The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies (PMMI)
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (PRWEB) December 08, 2017 -- John White, Co-CEO of Powershelf and Compass Digital, spoke about the importance of digital transformation in the consumer packaged goods industry at the Technology Immersion and Benchmarking Summit in Greenville, South Carolina.
Powershelf provides Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to chain retailers and consumer packaged goods companies. The Powershelf platform enables retailers to transform their stores into smart, connected environments. The platform collects on-shelf data which can be used to realize greater operational efficiencies, reduce out-of-stock incidences, improve demand forecasting, reduce waste, and, ultimately, offer shoppers lower prices and more personalized promotions.
“The consumer goods industry is poised on the edge of a massive transformation,” White said. “Digital technology has already revolutionized the path-to-purchase, and new innovations are promising to radically alter the way we shop, both online and in brick-and-mortar. My goal is to help industry leaders understand the digital landscape and show them how they can adapt to the digital-first way of doing business.”
The Technology Immersion and Benchmarking Summit was sponsored by GE Digital and The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies (PMMI). Operations, IT and engineering leaders from the consumer packaged goods and equipment manufacturing industries attended the conference to learn about the power of digital technology and its potential to disrupt their industries. Other key speakers included representatives of Intel, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and GE.
The conference was held at the GE Power manufacturing facility in Greenville, South Carolina on December 5 and 6. More information about the conference is available at https://ge.cvent.com/c/express/cbd28b9a-dffd-4a32-b681-135e64157c76.
