business objective
A mid-sized F&B brand wanted to benchmark its sourcing workflows against peers. Focus areas included supplier onboarding, sustainability reporting, and RFQ management.
Our solution
Cognition Approach
- AI-led Scan: Our AI scanned 3,500 procurement SOPs, sustainability reports, and sourcing playbooks from across the F&B sector. It flagged best-practice patterns and common pitfalls
- F&B Analyst Review: Analysts conducted 10 interviews with sourcing heads across North America and Europe. They compiled onboarding timelines, ESG metrics, and RFQ automation insights into a practical benchmark framework
Advantage of AI-First Approach: AI identified industry trends at scale, while analysts delivered role-specific, validated best practices.
Outcome
The client restructured 2 core workflows, cut onboarding time by 35%, and aligned ESG disclosures with top-quartile peers.
