Managing Ingredient Price Volatility Without Constant Reformulation
October 6 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT

Ingredient prices move daily, and most formulation processes don’t keep up with that pace. That mismatch is quietly draining margin and consistency across petfood formulation production. This webinar shows how to use optimization to forecast when to forward-buy ingredients, and how to keep formulas aligned to market conditions without sacrificing nutrition, palatability, label claims, or margin. Walk away with a practical way to link formulation and procurement, so ingredient cost swings stop forcing constant reformulation and margin loss.
This webinar will broadcast at 10:00 AM CDT (Chicago) / 4:00 PM BST (London) / 11:00 PM CST (Beijing).
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
- How least-cost modeling can react to live ingredient pricing instead of running on stale data, so optimization keeps pace with volatility
- How ingredient forecasting flags which inputs to lock in early
- How to qualify a substitute ingredient quickly while holding nutrition, palatability, and label-claim compliance
- How linking procurement and formulation to the same data closes the gap between what you can source and what you can formulate
- How to protect margin and hold product and brand consistency at the same time
