When facing global supply chain challenges, consumer demands, and ever-growing initiatives such as sustainability, companies are struggling to keep up and remain competitive. At the core of many challenges is a data problem.

Siloed data sources, outdated information, and miscommunication are challenges preventing innovation and growth. Companies need a strong data foundation to tackle concerns, including compliance regulatory pressures and sustainability while optimizing costs. That starts with specification data.

In this case study presentation, Matthew Wright, Founder & CEO of Specright, will share how a spec-first approach to your master data strategy can enable your teams to tackle packaging challenges while addressing cost-optimization initiatives. Todd Farwell, Global Packaging Director at Cummins, will share the company’s specification management journey and how Cummins can tackle compliance and grow the bottom line.
