SUMMARY:The Next Growth Frontier: Aligning Brand\, Packaging\, and Supply Chain at Scale
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nAs beverage brands scale\, challenges rarely emerge because demand disappears. More often\, they surface when the operating model that supported early success is asked to stretch into the next phase of growth. Join The Outlier Initiative and G3 Logistics for an insight-driven webinar exploring how brand strategy\, packaging decisions\, and supply chain design can work together more intentionally as complexity increases. Designed for growth-stage beverage companies\, this session brings together Courtney O’Brien\, Founder & Managing Director of The Outlier Initiative\, and Brad Busam\, VP and GM of Global Logistics at G3 Logistics\, to share where misalignment can quietly take shape\, and how many leading brands adapt their approach as they scale. Drawing from real-world experience and operator perspective\, this webinar reframes logistics as an upstream design consideration\, not simply a downstream function\, helping marketing\, operations\, and supply chain leaders align around smarter\, more resilient growth. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nHow brand positioning and consumer clarity influence packaging\, channel strategy\, and execution decisions\nWhy some operational challenges take shape early through packaging formats\, SKU strategy\, and service expectations\nCommon growth-stage trade offers that make sense at one moment\, but can introduce risk as volume\, geography\, and channels expand\nWhat tends to feel most strained at scale across warehouses\, transportation\, and inventory\nThree practical questions growth brands can use to scale with greater confidence and fewer surprises

SUMMARY:How feed manufacturers improve efficiency with connected workflows
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nFeed production is no longer a linear process. Teams rely on each other at every step\, but many feed producers still work in disconnected systems with manual handoffs. That creates delays\, errors\, compliance risk\, hidden costs\, and weaker traceability. In this exclusive webinar\, Karel Vervaet\, Sr. Product Manager Nutrition\, BESTMIX Software\, will discuss how structured collaboration across the full recipe lifecycle helps feed manufacturers work faster and with greater control. Learn how to break down silos\, improve data accuracy\, strengthen traceability\, and make better decisions across sites. Walk away with best practices feed producers can use to simplify formulation and labeling\, reduce manual work\, and improve profitability across the business. If your teams are managing multiple systems\, manual updates\, or inconsistent data\, this session will help you build a better process. \nThis webinar will broadcast at 8:00 AM CDT (Chicago) / 1:00 PM GMT (London) / 9:00 PM CST (Beijing). \nWHAT YOU’LL LEARN: \n\nWhy siloed processes create hidden costs and operational risk in feed production\nHow a single source of truth improves data accuracy\, alignment and control across departments\nHow stronger traceability and labeling consistency reduce compliance risk\nHow to speed up formulation with less manual work and fewer errors\nHow cloud-based collaboration improves decision-making across sites and teams while supporting stronger customer coordination\n\nThis webinar is sponsored by BESTMIX Software and presented by WATTPoultry and Feed Strategy.

SUMMARY:Collaboration: the key to efficiency in petfood production
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nIn pet food manufacturing\, even a small formulation change can impact nutrient compliance\, labeling accuracy\, raw material costs\, and overall financial performance. At the same time\, pet manufacturers face growing pressure to bring products to market faster. Yet many companies still rely on disconnected systems that limit transparency\, slow decision-making\, and reduce control across departments. This exclusive webinar explores how structured collaboration across the entire product lifecycle — from concept through commercialization — can strengthen data integrity\, improve governance\, and accelerate time to market without compromising quality or compliance. Through practical examples\, Carmen Sook\, Director of Customer Solutions\, BESTMIX Software\, explains how aligned workflows enhance traceability\, improve cost and raw material management\, and enable faster\, more informed decisions while supporting structured approvals across teams and production sites. \nThis webinar will broadcast at 9:00 AM CDT (Chicago) / 3:00 PM BST (London) / 10:00 PM CST (Beijing). \nWHAT YOU’LL LEARN: \n\nHow siloed processes impact formulation accuracy\, cost control\, compliance risk and operational efficiency.\nHow to create a reliable single source of truth across formulation\, quality and labeling teams.\nHow structured change management improves traceability and reduces costly inconsistencies.\nHow connected workflows enable faster\, more accurate data-driven decision-making.\nHow cloud-based possibility improves visibility and coordination across multiple sites in real time.\n\nThis webinar is sponsored by BESTMIX Software and presented by Petfood Industry.
