Snack producers and bakeries are facing a competitive marketplace inhabited by more brand designs and increased variation in packaging. Brand extensions focused on more flavors, seasonal offerings and promotions need to happen at a faster pace.

SNAXPO18 will take place March 12–14, 2018 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Unlike any other industry event, SNAXPO showcases innovation across every aspect of the market, bringing together suppliers and producers, innovators and game-changers from the entire snack supply chain.

Technologies that maintain and track temperatures in environments for finished products, from point-of-storage in snack and bakery facilities through distribution to the end customer, are becoming more connected.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software helps producers improve efficiency and day-to-day operations. New software can help snack and bakery companies increase their financial success, and there are a variety of ERP technologies from which to choose.
