Executive Summary

Customertimes is uniquely positioned to be CCH's
AI Innovation & Execution Partner

We are not proposing to become a new vendor. We are already embedded in CCH — and we are proposing to do significantly more with the relationship we have built, at a moment when the bottling industry is being reshaped by AI.

1
We Are Already Here
53 people embedded across 8 active CCH projects. We know the systems, the people, the data, the processes. No other vendor has this — it takes 3-6 months to build what we already have.

2
We Have Built the AI
19 production-ready AI solutions — not concepts, not roadmaps. Agents, bots, knowledge bases, automation suites validated with global CPG and enterprise customers. Ready to configure for CCH, not build from scratch.

We Know What CCH Needs
We analysed 14+ CCH documents, mapped the full BP26 strategy, benchmarked CCEP and KOF, researched KO and PepsiCo leadership signals. We identified 6 peer gaps and 32 use cases — and we know exactly where to start.
6 Peer Gaps Mapped 32 Use Cases Big 4 Benchmarks KO/PEP Signals
Our Role: Three Things We Do for CCH
Accelerate the BP26 Roadmap
We take CCH's existing priorities — Sales Academy, Customer Portal, Next Gen OTC, RPA, SFA evaluation — and add AI capabilities on top. Not replacing what's there, but making it dramatically more intelligent. We turn "digital" into "AI-powered digital".
Close the Gap to CCEP & KOF
CCEP has an AI Incubator, agentic ISS, and 7,000 AI-equipped reps. KOF has 1.3M users on a GenAI-powered platform. We have specific, ready-to-deploy solutions for each of CCH's 6 identified peer gaps — not in 12 months, but in the next quarter.
Build What Doesn't Exist Yet
13 use cases from industry best practices — AI demand prediction, digital twins, dynamic pricing, sustainability AI — that neither CCH nor its peers have fully deployed. Through the AI Innovation Lab, we prototype, pilot, and scale these together. CCH doesn't just catch up — it leads.

Key Insight: CT is the only vendor already embedded in CCH with both institutional knowledge AND pre-built AI agents ready to deploy.
Other vendors would need 3-6 months onboarding. CT has Day-1 context across Sales Academy, Customer Portal, Integration, RPA, and Innovation Lab. This is a structural advantage for speed-to-value.

Revenue Leakage — Money CCH Loses Today
Bottler-specific leakage points that AI can detect, quantify, and close. Typically 2-5% of revenue is leaking.
#Leakage TypeWhat Happens / CCH RelevanceAI SolutionCT StatusImpact
L1 Trade Promo Leakage
Promos executed incorrectly or not at all
Industry avg: 20-30% of trade spend is wasted. With Promo360 rolling out, AI can detect execution gaps in real-time: wrong pricing at outlet, missing POS materials, promos not activated on time CT Vision (photo compliance) + Smart Order (promo auto-suggest) + Next Best Action (flag non-compliant outlets) CT Has 1-3% revenue
L2 Out-of-Stock at Outlet
Lost sales from empty shelves
Avg bottler loses 3-5% of sales to OOS. Worse at wholesalers and fragmented trade. Dynamic routing visits 22 markets but doesn't yet predict which outlets need urgent restocking AI Demand Prediction per outlet (CCEP model: 5-20% sales lift) + Recommended Order agent pre-populating orders before stockout CT Has
Order agent + build prediction
2-4% revenue
L3 Pricing Compliance Gaps
Wrong prices at point of sale
Outlets charging above/below recommended price, eroding brand value or margin. Especially critical with OBPPC automation and multi-tier pricing across 29 markets CT Vision (price tag recognition during store check) + Menu Data (scraping HoReCa pricing) + anomaly alerting CT Has 0.5-1.5% margin
L4 Ghost Visits / Low-Value Visits
Reps visiting wrong outlets
CCH has dynamic routing in 22 markets reducing travel 15%. But route efficiency is not visit effectiveness. Reps may visit low-potential outlets while high-value ones get skipped Recommended Visits agent (priority-weighted) + Vocal Customer 360 (highlight high-value accounts) + Manager Briefing (territory coverage KPIs) CT Has 0.5-2% revenue
L5 Contract & Volume Leakage
Customers not meeting commitments
BP26 includes Customer Contract Management. Without AI monitoring, volume commitments and rebate conditions go untracked until reconciliation — often too late Digital Data Steward (contract compliance monitoring) + Talk to your Data (natural language contract queries) + automated alerts CT Has 0.5-1% revenue
L6 Cooler Revenue Loss
Idle or competitor-filled coolers
CCH placed +20% "Always-on" connected coolers. But cooler downtime, wrong temperature, or competitor products in CCH coolers means lost sales. IoT data exists but AI layer is missing Connected Cooler AI (anomaly detection on IoT data) + CT Vision (cooler purity checks during visits) CT Has
CV ready, IoT layer to build
0.3-1% revenue
L7 Returns & Breakage
Preventable product losses
Returns from overdelivery, wrong SKU, expired product. Breakage in warehouse and transport. AI can predict and prevent before it happens AI Demand Prediction (right quantity) + Smart Order quota check (prevent overdelivery) + predictive alerts CT Has
Partial — order side ready
0.3-0.8% COGS
L8 Invoice & Settlement Errors
Discrepancies in billing
Next Gen OTC aims for touchless settlement. But today, invoice discrepancies between SAP, CPI, and customer systems cause disputes, delayed payments, and write-offs Digital Data Steward (cross-system reconciliation) + AI invoice review (auto-extract and match) + RPA (automate dispute resolution) CT Has 0.2-0.5% revenue
Total Addressable Leakage: 5-14% of revenue is at risk across these 8 categories
For CCH (€11.6bn revenue), even capturing 1% = €116M in recovered or protected revenue. Most of these use cases leverage CT solutions that already exist — the ROI case is immediate. Revenue leakage is the single fastest path to proving AI value because the money is already being lost.
Tier 1: CT Has Today — Deploy in Weeks
Production-ready solutions. Configuration, not development. 4-12 week deployment.

Tier 3: Heavy Lift — Significant Investment or Partnership Required
These require deep industrial domain expertise, specialised hardware, or OT integration CT doesn't have today. €500K-2M+ investment to build credibly.
#Use CaseWhat It RequiresWhy It's Heavy for CTCT Investment to EnterRecommendation
28 Digital Twin + AI Agents
PepsiCo/Siemens/NVIDIA model
Physics-based 3D replicas, NVIDIA Omniverse, Siemens Digital Twin Composer, real-time simulation of production lines Requires deep OT/manufacturing domain, NVIDIA partnership, Siemens tools. PepsiCo invested multi-year with 2 industrial giants €1-2M+
+ Siemens/NVIDIA partnership
Don't build. Flag for CCH as industry trend. Recommend CCH engage Siemens directly. CT can support data integration layer only
29 AI Quality Control (Production)
Real-time manufacturing CV
Specialised cameras, edge computing on production lines, real-time defect detection at bottling speed (1,000+ bottles/min) Requires industrial vision hardware, edge deployment at OT level, food/bev safety certification. Different from retail CV €500K-1M
Hardware + industrial CV team
Don't build. Specialised vendors (Cognex, Keyence) own this. CT can integrate QC data into enterprise reporting
30 Energy & Sustainability AI
Real-time emissions/water optimisation
Integration with BMS, SCADA, utility meters. Real-time energy optimisation across 80+ plants. Carbon accounting per SKU Requires deep utility/energy domain, building management system integration, regulatory/ESG reporting frameworks €500K-1M
Energy domain + OT integration
Don't build. ESG platform vendors (Persefoni, Watershed) do this. CT can build the AI analytics layer on top of CCH's new ESG platform
31 Fleet Telematics AI
Real-time fleet optimisation
GPS hardware, real-time traffic APIs, driver behaviour sensors, integration with logistics planning (BlueYonder) Requires fleet management hardware, telecom partnerships, real-time geospatial ML. CCH has dynamic routing via existing vendor €500K-1M
Geo ML + fleet hardware
Don't build. CCH has dynamic routing in 22 markets already. Fleet telematics vendors (Samsara, Geotab) are specialised. CT can enhance existing route AI with sales intelligence overlay
32 Warehouse Automation AI
Advanced robotics & AGV
AGV coordination, robotic pick-and-place, intelligent slot optimisation, integration with WMS Requires robotics hardware, WMS deep integration, warehouse infrastructure. Beyond software-only solution €1M+
Robotics + WMS integration
Don't build. Hardware-dependent. Vendors (Locus Robotics, 6 River Systems) specialise. CT can build AI layer on top of WMS data for pick optimisation reporting
33 AI Fermentation & Process QC
Real-time beverage process control
Inline sensors (Brix, CO2, pH), real-time process control, batch prediction models, integration with SCADA/MES Deep beverage manufacturing science, food safety certifications, OT-level real-time control. Not a CRM/data play €500K-1M
Process eng + sensors
Don't build. Process control vendors (Rockwell, Siemens) own this. Flag as industry trend for CCH Manufacturing 4.0 team
Honest Assessment: What CT Should Propose to CCH
Propose Now (Tier 1 — 19 solutions)
These are real, deployed, referenceable. We can demo them this month, pilot next month, and measure results by Q3. This is 80% of the conversation. Revenue leakage alone justifies the investment — €116M+ at risk.
Propose via Innovation Lab (Tier 2 — 8 solutions)
Position these as joint innovation projects in the AI Innovation Lab. CT invests in productising, CCH provides domain data and pilot market. Demand prediction and pricing AI are the highest-value ones. €50-250K CT investment each.
Don't Propose — Flag Only (Tier 3 — 6 topics)
Show CCH we understand the full landscape, but be honest that Digital Twins, fleet telematics, and manufacturing QC are €500K-2M+ investments in hardware/OT that need specialised vendors. CT's role: data integration layer and enterprise reporting on top. Credibility > overcommitment.
