OVERVIEW
FMCG businesses deal with short shelf lives, large SKU ranges, frequent promotions and powerful retail customers. Forecast errors and slow decisions quickly turn into waste or lost sales.
SAP S/4HANA supports FMCG companies from planning to delivery. Demand-driven planning and MRP Live keep supply in line with demand, batch and shelf-life management reduce waste, settlement management handles trade promotions and rebates, and profitability is visible by SKU, customer and channel.
S/4HANA can be combined with SAP Integrated Business Planning for advanced demand and supply planning.
Webtel delivers S/4HANA using SAP Activate, starting from SAP best practices and industry content. Fit-to-standard workshops show your teams how processes work in the standard system, so changes are limited to what genuinely sets your business apart. That keeps the core clean, makes upgrades easier and shortens the project.
