Key Capabilities

The challenges

The solutions

The challenge

With over 250 projects underway at any one time, Hostess needed a way to manage these effectively. Previously, these were managed in Excel spreadsheets, making oversight incredibly difficult

The solution

Cloud Coach has enabled Hostess Brands to manage a large number of projects from one location. Senior stakeholders can access key metrics quickly and easily, and data is no longer hidden in desktop spreadsheets

The challenge

Hostess has four essential Stage Gates before Commercialization, with each gate initiating a process review. It was important Hostess implemented a tool that was capable of managing the stage gate process

The solution

Hostess Brands’ important Stage Gate processes are managed using Cloud Coach, ensuring project stages are completed before progressing

The challenge

With so many teams involved in the process of getting a product to market (Operations, Supply Chain, Regulatory, Finance, Data, Sales, Marketing) it was important this could all be managed from one single source of truth

The solution

Cloud Coach has provided a single source of truth for Hostess Brands’ projects. All managed from within Salesforce, the project process is scalable, making Cloud Coach ideal for Hostess’ large project teams with multiple stakeholders across hundreds of projects
