IT Services for FMCG Companies
Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies need quality IT systems to run smoothly and keep up with their rivals. FMCG is one of the most competitive industries, but with bespoke IT solutions, you can give yourself an edge.
What IT Services do FMCG Companies need?
FMCG companies can benefit from similar systems to others in the manufacturing industry but have specific requirements too. Every FMCG varies, which is why our customised IT solutions are so effective.
Automation is key for a FMCG, increasing efficiency, minimising downtime, and removing human errors that can bring your operation to a halt. The processes involved with your business involve a lot of machinery, from the storage of raw materials to packaging and labelling. All of these processes need to be monitored and adapt as you grow your business.
Your IT systems should be no different. If you’re using outdated systems, not only will your productivity be affected, but you’re more at risk of cyber attack and data leaks.

Cyber Security for FMCG Companies
In such a competitive industry, keeping your data secure is crucial. FMCG companies handle a vast amount of data, including the data of consumers and production methods that you’d rather keep to yourself.
Cyber hackers are more sophisticated than ever, targeting companies of all sizes for attacks and exploiting any weaknesses in their systems. However, you may be surprised to know that their most effective methods are a lot more human-focused.
Phishing emails are the most common way for an outsider to access your valuable data. Even experienced employees can fall for them, which is why you should remove the risk of human error. Our communications systems not only make it easier to connect with your team and share information, but also makes phishing emails much easier to spot.
We also offer extensive cyber security training, which will give your team the knowledge to detect these hacking attempts and deal with them accordingly.
Uploading your data to the Cloud is the best way to keep it safe and minimise the risk of leaks. You can access your data with ease, but it’s fully backed up for if the worst does happen.
Working within the FMCG sector involves global supply chains. Any weak links in these chains can put the entire operation at risk. We can conduct thorough risk assessments to find any weak touchpoints and offer solutions on how to make them secure.
Finally, your intellectual property will be kept safe from outsiders. If this information is leaked or stolen, it can be bought by competitors that will then overtake you in your industry. Don’t worry, we can meet with you to discuss your cyber security needs and build systems that will be perfect for you.
How to Maximise Customer Relations with IT Solutions
What makes a FMCG company great is the trusting relationship it develops with the consumer. Simply providing products isn’t enough; you need to go above and beyond.
Consumers appreciate transparency. They don’t need to know the ins and outs of your production line, but clear communication goes a long way. Incident response plans are important for improving trust too.
As mentioned earlier, your consumers’ data needs to be kept secure. If it is, this also improves consumers’ confidence, as they know their information will be used and stored safely.
Improving your Workplace with IT Solutions
The way we work has changed a lot over the last few years. With hybrid and remote working becoming more prevalent, your IT systems need to be updated to keep operations smooth.
With secure emails and more control over who can access what systems, you can allow your team to work remotely, without putting your data at risk.
When in the office, the fluidity our systems offer will help you to maximise efficiency. They are designed to improve workflow but aren’t needlessly complicated. We also offer training that will get you up and running quickly.
Why Choose ExpressIT?
For a fast-growing FMCG company, off-the-shelf systems won’t be able to keep up. We conduct a thorough assessment of your current systems, and what your individual needs are.
Then, we can adapt your existing systems and implement new ones. Replacing everything can lead to more user error and delays as your team get used to them, so when we can combine systems together it’s more effective.
Once the systems are in place, our work is not done. We provide complete monitoring services that detect any issues, responding to them as quickly as possible.
In such a fast-paced industry, IT systems can become outdated within a very short time. That’s why our IT solutions are designed to evolve with you, regularly updating to keep you ahead of the curve. This means that, as your company grows, your IT will too.
