Challenge to solution

Five food-industry pressures, and what Celoxis changed

Goodman Fielder faced a series of industry challenges that tested its operational resilience and strategic agility.

  1. Before

    GTM Struggles

    Despite pioneering certain products, Goodman Fielder frequently struggled to capitalize on first-mover advantages due to sluggish internal processes.

    After with Celoxis

    Accelerated Product Launches

    A 3X improvement in roadmap planning significantly expedited time-to-market for new products.

  2. Before

    Doubtful Decision-making

    With manual conversations and no single source of truth, governance meetings were ineffective, impacting strategic decisions.

    After with Celoxis

    Informed Decision-Making

    Eliminating time-consuming manual data preparation gave immediate insight into project and resource metrics.

  3. Before

    Strategic Misalignment

    Without a clear system for prioritizing projects, departments ended up with conflicting goals not aligned to overall strategy.

    After with Celoxis

    Strategic Project Reprioritization

    What-if analysis let Goodman Fielder reprioritize accurately in response to market conditions, cutting errors by 30%.

  4. Before

    Food Industry Skills Shortage

    The shortage of skilled workers in the food industry pressures the PMO to efficiently monitor and utilize available resources.

    After with Celoxis

    Dynamic Resource Allocation

    More efficient resource distribution across projects met changing priorities and optimized the use of scarce expertise.

  5. Before

    Supply Chain Vulnerability

    Goodman Fielder is susceptible to unexpected supply chain disruptions, such as bad weather or trade disputes, that inflate costs.

    After with Celoxis

    Enhanced Project Visibility

    A centralized project and process repository gave everyone access to schedule, resource, cost and risk data.

Before Celoxis

The struggle with spreadsheets

Goodman Fielder's reliance on spreadsheets, Excel, and manual methods for project planning and reporting caused significant inefficiencies.

Departments faced challenges aligning on priorities, leading to resource misallocation and missed opportunities. The lack of real-time visibility from manual reporting hampered decision-making, as executives couldn't accurately track project progress or portfolio health.

What was breaking

  • Manual, disconnected planning Frequent, manual reshuffling of project resources in Excel wasted time and decreased productivity.
  • No real-time visibility Executives couldn't accurately track project progress or portfolio health.
  • Disjointed and error-prone This approach was time-consuming, prone to errors, and unsustainable for scaling with new initiatives.

Celoxis has been instrumental in driving our project management transformation. With its robust features and intuitive interface, Celoxis has empowered our teams to collaborate effectively, make informed decisions, and drive organizational excellence.
