From our discussions with our CPG procurement domain, 2025 was a stress test for CPG procurement and finance teams, and commodity fluctuations were at the heart of this. For example, cocoa prices surged over 40% year-on-year, and coffee futures swung by 30% within six months. Volatility rippled through margins and planning cycles.
For CPG leaders, this wasn't just about cost control; it was about resilience and agility. Procurement leaders we talk to wanted to move beyond reactive cost control and enable the organization to be more resilient and focus on shared goals. This is against the backdrop of "I'd like you to help me, but I don't have time." Many organizations were reacting to outside influences and constantly replanning.
The winners? Those who invested in data, talent, and process digitization. Moving beyond spreadsheets, they automated procurement forecasts and complex cost calculations, significantly reducing forecast cycle times, automated Annual Operating Plan and forecast spend and PPV comparison, and gained real insight into cost and variance drivers enabling real-time scenario modelling. Automation driving analysis across thousands of SKUs, diverse categories, complex supplier bases and global geographies.
As we move into 2026, the mandate is clear: adopt integrated, data-driven planning supported by the correct toolsets and design solutions for people, get the most from your data, and focus on measurable outcomes.
