The world of the professional confectioner is pretty sweet. By mixing flavor combinations and colors into hundreds – if not thousands – of products, you bring joy to the world every day. Yet you also face some tough challenges. You are constantly under pressure to predict supply and demand. At the same time you face food safety regulations, traceability requirements for flavor mixes that get dispersed among all of your products, and the overall management of an extremely complex supply chain.
