Uncountable and Mondelēz International
Uncountable, the leading provider of unified laboratory informatics software, is pleased to announce its new partnership with Mondelēz International, one of the world’s largest snack companies. This collaboration aims to elevate Mondelēz’s global Research & Development (R&D) capabilities, aligning with its vision of achieving a digitally enabled future across its organization.
Driving Digital R&D Transformation
Joseph Manton, Senior Director of Digital R&D at Mondelēz, oversees the company’s ambitious digital strategy. With a globally dispersed R&D team across 16 facilities, Manton recognizes the need to connect and streamline the R&D processes to foster better innovation. The Uncountable platform will serve as a cornerstone for Mondelēz's digital transformation, facilitating more effective communication, knowledge-sharing, and collaborative development.
"We're excited to begin this journey with Uncountable. Our aim is to connect our R&D developers through a single platform, allowing us to unlock valuable insights and drive innovation across our categories, functions, and regions," said Manton.
Goals of The Partnership
By partnering with Uncountable, Mondelēz seeks to achieve several key objectives:
- Enhanced Innovation: With a unified platform, global R&D developers can collaborate seamlessly, uncovering unexpected insights from newly available, structured data.
- Improved Efficiency and Effectiveness: Access to well-structured, curated data will increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the entire R&D organization.
- Workforce Agility: Uncountable’s solution will enable employees to move fluidly across categories, functions, and regions, supporting standardized and digitalized ways of working.
- Leveraging Expertise: The partnership will allow R&D teams to focus on building upon existing knowledge and expertise, reducing the need to reinvent processes.
Addressing Key Challenges
Prior to this partnership, Mondelēz faced several challenges, including the difficulty of leveraging vast, siloed, and often disconnected data. Despite being a world-class R&D organization, the company needed a solution to elevate its effectiveness in delighting consumers and growing market share.
Manton explains, “We’ve seen an increasing number of bespoke digital solutions that fail to address common needs, leaving our teams to rely on manual processes to fill gaps."
The Uncountable platform will replace these siloed tools, creating a more integrated and collaborative R&D environment. From a technical perspective, Uncountable’s software met the team’s broad technical requirements for a global integrated software delivering ELN, LIMS, and MES functionality all in one solution. The platform’s user-friendly interface was another crucial factor, driving early user adoption and setting the stage for a successful long-term partnership.
By utilizing Uncountable’s platform, Mondelēz will connect its global R&D teams more effectively, make better use of data, and streamline processes, helping the company continue to create snacks that meet evolving consumer preferences.
Conclusion
Uncountable was selected by a cross-functional team of end-users at Mondelēz for its robust capabilities and alignment with its corporate strategy. The partnership between Mondelēz International and Uncountable is a crucial step in improving the way the company develops its wide range of snacks, from iconic brands like Oreo and Ritz to Cadbury Dairy Milk and Milka Chocolate.
