Curious about how Coca-Cola North America Operating Unit’s largest customers offer consistent products and brand experience regardless of location? It’s the CCBSS Customer Business Solutions (CBS) team!
What we provide is unique to the Coca-Cola system. Our team integrates data with service, providing one point of contact for trade programs, transaction processing and other data-related operations.
For example, we provide niche business services such as EDI-enabled product order management, cashless vending and consolidating invoicing. These services enable seamless coordination between sales teams, Coca-Cola bottlers and 1,500+ national and regional customers.
For bottlers, we manage finance-related activities, such as cross-entity payments and customer invoicing for select customers. For Coca-Cola North America Operating Unit (NAOU), we provide systems and services that facilitate standardized and efficient data exchange with the bottler network.
Our goal is to help the Coca-Cola system win, whether by driving productivity, improving quality of service or implementing new tools and technology. We are focused on being extremely responsive and accurate, and communicating clearly to our broad variety of stakeholders. We are always seeking ways to help our team members innovate, learn and grow.
“At CBS, we endeavor to make it easier to do business with the large, multi-franchise Coca-Cola North America Operating Unit system. By providing one voice and one ‘face’ to customers, we ensure a positive, smooth experience.”
