Webinar: Collaboration: the key to efficiency in petfood production

In pet food manufacturing, even a small formulation change can impact nutrient compliance, labeling accuracy, raw material costs, and overall financial performance. At the same time, pet manufacturers face growing pressure to bring products to market faster. Yet many companies still rely on disconnected systems that limit transparency, slow decision-making, and reduce control across departments. This exclusive webinar explores how structured collaboration across the entire product lifecycle — from concept through commercialization — can strengthen data integrity, improve governance, and accelerate time to market without compromising quality or compliance. Through practical examples, Carmen Sook, Director of Customer Solutions, BESTMIX Software, explains how aligned workflows enhance traceability, improve cost and raw material management, and enable faster, more informed decisions while supporting structured approvals across teams and production sites.

This webinar will broadcast at 9:00 AM CDT (Chicago) / 3:00 PM BST (London) / 10:00 PM CST (Beijing).

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

1. How siloed processes impact formulation accuracy, cost control, compliance risk and operational efficiency.
2. How to create a reliable single source of truth across formulation, quality and labeling teams.
3. How structured change management improves traceability and reduces costly inconsistencies.
4. How connected workflows enable faster, more accurate data-driven decision-making.
5. How cloud-based possibility improves visibility and coordination across multiple sites in real time.

This webinar is sponsored by BESTMIX Software and presented by Petfood Industry.
