With low growth rates, marginal profits and consumers perfectly willing to abandon any retailer that can't deliver. Companies operating in the Food & Beverage industry are looking to improve the way they meet customer needs and deliver unparalleled quality, product selection, and service.
Using our SAP Business One solution customers can meet the key industry challenges including global competition driving down prices and margins, consumer demand for more variety and product mix, faster delivery of products and pressure to cut supply chain costs and companies operating in mixed process and packaging environments.
Even so, there are many areas within the Food & Beverage industry where revenue and cost opportunities are available and can be capitalised on. But to do this, companies need to have modern and effective business systems...and not just systems, integrated business solutions which cover the operations of organisations from:
- Flexible pricing models that allow the user to build customer specific deals quickly and easily, (including rebate agreements)
- Efficient delivery logistics from pick/pack/ship
- Optimised purchasing to ensure the right balance of customer service and stock investment
- Easy access to information to enable effective decision making and planning
- Recipe / formula management and batch process manufacturing
- Quality control management including material safety data sheets (MSDS) and local food safety requirements
- Bulk storage and replenishment control management with process capacity planning and control
- Scheduled based manufacturing with full batch control and traceability
- Shelf life and batch expiry control
- Shop floor stock & operation counts for centralised and local sales
- Transparent product specifications
- High volume repetitive manufacturing and distribution with opportunities around centralised and local purchasing
Alongside this backdrop, retailers are also demanding more from their suppliers and distributors. Supermarkets are making increasingly difficult to fulfil demands that (for example) pallets and roll cages are stacked to order to allow them to increase the efficiency of their shelf stacking and stock replenishment. This desire for increased efficiency and speed must be balanced against a need for tight controls and compliance with health and safety regulations.
NAMMIS provide both technology and consulting services to help the modern perishable goods organisation achieve their goals within this tight regulatory framework.
In addition to SAP Business One, NAMMIS have a number of other solutions that may be of interest to our current and future clients. Please go to our Solutions section for more information on our other integrated products.
