In my many years at Webalo as Manager of Customer Success and Implementation, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with a wide range of industrial companies — from discrete manufacturers and CPG giants to food processors and chemical producers. Each has its own unique challenges, but what they all have in common is a drive to modernize operations, empower their frontline teams, and improve visibility across the enterprise.

Among these, bottling and perishables manufacturers face particularly intense pressure. Short shelf lives, high throughput expectations, strict safety requirements, and constant demand fluctuations make their supply chains especially complex. In this blog, I’ll share the top eight supply chain challenges we see time and again in this space — and the strategies leading manufacturers are using to overcome them.

Speed and Efficiency Without Complexity: Remove Barriers to Innovation with AI and No-Code Technology

Organizations must innovate rapidly in today’s fast-paced industrial landscape to stay competitive. However, traditional application development is often slow, complex, and resource-intensive. Webalo’s patented no-code Platform eliminates these barriers, enabling frontline workers to create custom applications without requiring deep technical expertise. By leveraging AI-enabled rapid application development, companies can optimize workflows, drive efficiency, and unlock new operational insights—without the complexity of conventional software development.

Industry Trends & Shared Goals

The industrial workforce is undergoing a profound transformation. With 80% of the global workforce being deskless, traditional engagement and operational strategies are no longer sufficient. This shift demands modern solutions that address not only the complexities of frontline work but also the expectations of a new generation of workers.
