Industries · Core sector · AI demonstrator

From raw material to traced product, with no break in the chain.

Producing at the pace of seasonal campaigns, tracing every batch from receipt to shipment, holding quality and proving the footprint: food & beverage is our most mature sector. We have built a Document AI demonstrator on SAP S/4HANA, across the supplier chain.

Food & Beverage

The context

A business of just-in-time flows and constant proof.

Perishable materials, expiration dates, variable recipes and yields, seasonal campaigns, product recalls always a possibility: the food manufacturer runs a plant where time counts double. Add to that growing demands for transparency on quality, origin and environmental footprint, driven at once by retailers, regulators and consumers. When production, planning, quality and finance live in separate systems, every piece of proof becomes an investigation. The SAP transformation makes traceability a natural by-product of operations: a single thread of data, from the point of capture to the audit.

The stakes

What is at stake from receipt to shipment.

Challenge 01

Production & yields

Scheduling lines exposed to raw-material variability, tracking actual yields by recipe and by batch, reacting to deviations while the line is running rather than at the close.

Challenge 02

Planning & campaigns

Planning demand, supply and capacity over seasonal cycles, balancing freshness, inventory and service levels.

Challenge 03

End-to-end traceability

Tracing a batch up and down the chain in minutes, from suppliers to shipments, to answer an audit or contain a recall without stopping the plant.

Challenge 04

Quality built in

Inspections at receipt, in process and at batch release, handling of non-conformities and batch holds: quality in the flow, not in a binder.

Challenge 05

ESG & CSRD

Measuring and reporting the footprint (Scope 1, 2 and 3) to CSRD standards, with SAP Green Ledger and Sustainability Footprint Management: emissions figures treated with the same rigor as financial figures.

Challenge 06

End-to-end supply chain

A chain under control from supplier to distributor: raw-material purchasing, date-managed inventory, cold-chain logistics, delivery promises kept to major retailers.

The proof

A Document AI demonstrator on S/4HANA, ready to deploy.

This is not just a promise: we have built it. On SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, our demonstrator handles a first artificial-intelligence use case: the extraction and matching of supplier invoices by Document AI, ready to adapt to your processes.

The processes involved

From production plan to non-financial reporting.

Production: Recipes and bills of materials, scheduling, execution and production confirmations, management of co-products and material losses.
Planning: Demand forecasting, S&OP, campaign plans, supply and capacity planning, freshness and dates included.
Traceability & batches: Batch and date management (use-by/best-before), upstream and downstream genealogy, readiness for audits and product recalls.
Quality: Inspection plans, batch statuses, non-conformities, release: all integrated into the logistics flow and production.
Supply chain & logistics: Purchasing of raw materials and packaging, multi-site inventory, warehousing, transport and customer service to retailers.
ESG & compliance: Collection of Scope 1-2-3 emissions data, product footprint, CSRD reporting, on the same foundation as finance.
