The Supply Chain Behind Your Morning Cup of Co�ee For many, the journey from being a morning zombie
to a productive member of society starts with a cup of
co�ee. But by the time that life-giving brew enters
your mouth, it's already gone through a vast journey
of its own. Here’s what happens on a single day in
the global co�ee industry.

Co�ee changes many
hands, geographies, and

processes are involved as it gets
from the plantation to your cup.
Monitoring and controlling all those steps
is quite complex, and today, is only possible
through the advancement of cloud-based
supply chain information networks. To find out
more about how consumer products leaders
like Nestlé, P&G and Del Monte manage their
supply chains, visit www.gtnexus.com.
