Industries · Retail & Food Industry
From supplier to point of sale, one chain, one figure.
Store and depot networks, wholesalers, food manufacturers, consumer goods brands: the sector lives on volumes, dates and tight margins. Every stock-out, every poorly traced batch, every miscounted promotion is paid for in cash. S/4HANA must unify the chain, from supplier to invoice, across the whole network.
The problem
Sites that multiply, systems that drift apart.
A retailer opening points of sale, a manufacturer adding a plant, a group acquiring a brand: at every step, one more system, one more product master, one more invisible stock. Head office consolidates late, promotions are negotiated without visibility of real margins, batch traceability becomes an investigation at recall time.
Changes in electronic invoicing and reporting obligations, in Morocco as in the countries where you operate, also require a system capable of issuing and receiving compliant documents. All good reasons to settle the S/4HANA trajectory before 2027, on a multi-site model designed for growth.
The stakes
What is at play from goods receipt to collection.
- Product master & network
Articles, assortments, prices and conditions by channel, site hierarchy: a single master that feeds stores, depots, plants and e-commerce, without double entry.
- Replenishment & inventory
Demand forecasts, site replenishment, stock as at date, inter-site transfers: the right product in the right place, with stock that is justified rather than endured.
- Batches, dates & traceability
Batch and expiry-date management, upstream and downstream genealogy, quality checks at receipt and in production: traceability as a by-product of operations, ready for audit and recall.
- Food production
Recipes, yields, co-products, seasonal campaigns: a production plan that follows the material and reports actual costs, down to the margin per recipe.
- Logistics & transport
Warehouses, picking, delivery rounds, cold chain: integrated logistics execution, from the receiving dock to delivery to the customer or the point of sale.
- Promotions, conditions & invoicing
Discounts, rebates, trade agreements, invoicing by channel and by entity: conditions applied automatically, invoices compliant with local requirements, a visible real margin.
