OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

FMCG businesses deal with thousands of SKUs, short shelf lives, trade promotions and a large network of retailers and distributors. Margins are thin, so every scheme, return and expired case matters.

SAP Business One gives FMCG companies control over the full cycle: purchasing or production, batch and expiry tracking, promotional pricing and schemes, van and route sales through add-ons, and margin reporting by SKU, customer and channel.

Because Business One is a single system, FMCG companies get one version of the truth: sales, purchasing, stock and finance are always in step, and reports come from live data rather than spreadsheets assembled at month end. Managers can see margins, stock and cash without waiting for someone to prepare them.

Webtel implements SAP Business One with a practical, phased approach. We start with the processes that matter most, use standard features wherever possible and add industry add-ons only where they clearly pay back. Your key users are involved from the first workshop, so the system fits how your team actually works.

COMMON CHALLENGES

What Usually Gets in the Way

These are the issues we see most often. Each one is planned for from the start, so it does not surface in the week before go-live.

Short shelf life

Products expire in the warehouse or on shelves.

02

Scheme leakage

Promotions cost more than planned.

03

Field sales control

Van sales and cash collection are hard to reconcile.

04

Thin margins

Small costs add up across many SKUs.
