What is ERP for Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG)?

ERP for Consumer Packaged Goods is business software designed for companies that produce, distribute or sell packaged products. It combines financials, inventory, procurement, production, sales and reporting in one system.

ERP software helps connect CPG operations across retail chains, ecommerce channels, wholesalers and third-party logistics providers. Instead of relying on spreadsheets or disconnected systems, teams work from one shared view of business data.
