Fortune 500 CPG Company — one of America's largest packaged food companies — needed to assess its AI readiness, modernize its ERP infrastructure, and build the operational foundation for the next decade of growth.
Fortune 500 CPG Company is a vertically integrated agribusiness operating at $9B revenue — one of the largest packaged food manufacturers in the United States. Like many companies of this size that grew through operational excellence rather than technology investment, the company faced a fork in the road: the AI and ERP landscape had shifted dramatically, and the question was how to modernize without disrupting a business where operational continuity is everything.
The challenge wasn't ambition — leadership wanted to modernize. The challenge was clarity: Where do you start? What's the right ERP path for a large-scale packaged food manufacturer? What does "AI readiness" actually mean for a business where the supply chain spans from farm to distribution?
Led a structured operational and technology assessment across the company's core capability areas — supply chain, manufacturing operations, financial reporting, workforce management, and customer-facing systems.
Built an AI readiness framework specific to the food and agribusiness context — not a generic technology checklist, but a diagnostic that mapped where AI investment would generate measurable returns versus where it would create complexity without value. Developed the ERP modernization roadmap — evaluating multiple platform paths, assessing implementation risk, and building the business case that connected technology investment to operational and financial outcomes. Delivered a board-ready recommendation within 90 days that gave leadership the clarity to move forward with confidence.
A clear, prioritized transformation roadmap across AI and ERP — delivered in a format that enabled board-level decision-making. The assessment identified the highest-value AI use cases for a large-scale packaged food manufacturer and the ERP path with the lowest implementation risk and highest long-term scalability. Leadership entered the next phase of planning with alignment across operations, finance, and technology.
