Agricultural cooperative producing cranberry juice, drinks, and dried cranberries globally
Ocean Spray operates as a farmer-owned cooperative managing cranberry sourcing, processing, and distribution across ~20 facilities worldwide. The tech stack reflects a manufacturing-heavy operation: SAP for ERP, Allen-Bradley and GE systems for production control, Maximo for asset management, and business-intelligence tools (Power BI, SAP Analytics Cloud) layered on top. Active hiring across manufacturing, operations, and engineering signals sustained capital investment in automation and line optimization—key to addressing their documented pain points around equipment downtime, cost overruns, and production constraints.
