What’s inside
Four pages your leadership team will actually read.
An Info Snapshot is IDC’s short format: the data, the analyst’s read, and nothing padded. This one puts independent numbers on the gap both sides of the trade relationship already feel.
The headline finding: 55% of grocery retailers and 40% of food and beverage manufacturers name insufficient collaboration with trading partners as their #1 supply-chain gap.
Both sides of the gap: the same coordination failure, seen from the retailer's desk and the manufacturer's — and why neither side can close it alone.
Analyst perspective: IDC's view on what retailers and manufacturers should look for in shared planning and trade collaboration.
A benchmark for your own operation: language and evidence you can put in front of leadership when the collaboration conversation starts.
The research names the gap. The platform closes it.
