Harnessing Opportunities in a Booming Pet Food Market

As the pet food market experiences remarkable double-digit growth, Wonderfood aims to seize the opportunity by introducing new product variants and pack formats. To achieve success, they recognized the need to optimize and expedite their New Product Development (NPD) process.

Additionally, managing the complexity of packaging and effectively disseminating product information across the supply and retail chain has become a pressing challenge. Juggling 16 brands and translations in 18 languages, each requiring regulatory approval, has led to time-consuming processes and bottlenecks in artwork production.
