The Challenge
Jet Import, a leading distributor of premium beverages and snacks in the Benelux area, was looking to innovate its store inspection processes. The company, which introduced Red Bull to the Belgium market in 1996, has grown into a full-fledged company with a leading position in the retail, petrol station, and catering & hospitality industries. However, considering the enormous scale and competitive landscape of the Food & Beverage industry, Jet Import recognized the need for advanced inspection business systems to check, detect, and quickly solve all potential issues. The company wanted to have information about each store, current promotions, and purchases, and the ability to plan, execute and analyze the goods’ merchandising activities.
The Solution
To overcome the challenge of innovating store inspection processes, Resco’s trusted partner & Salesforce gold consulting partner Cloud Innovation recommended its full-fledged accelerator called CPG 360 to master daily retail inspection-related activities. CPG360 is a vertical solution primarily based on Resco and Salesforce technology. The solution allows Jet Import to complete the whole inspection process from A to Z within one solution. The company has 35 users in the field, inspecting the stores daily. The most significant advantage of the solution is the possibility to avoid network problems thanks to the reliable and unlimited offline functionality of the app. The solution also allows for easy-to-make custom screens, interactive map view, inspections with editable check-lists, and high speed even in offline mode.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
