Challenges

Due to high degree of market saturation and declining levels of consumer spending, ABInBev was observing a fall in their margins and experiencing immense difficulty to compete with its peers. They required an end-to-end supply chain solution that could help them operate more efficiently and somehow reduce their costs.

Solutions

Sancode helped ABInBev overcome their challenges by digitizing and streamlining their entire supply chain. The following things were achieved:

ABInBev gained end-to-end and real time visibility over its inventory, right from its order creation up till its destination at the warehouse. This permitted them to monitor and manage their vendors to ensure contract and quality compliance, as well as observe if they were adhering to the agreed service levels.
ABInBev could easily predict ETAs which ensured that the right stock was available at the right times, which improved their out-of-stock levels and further increased sales opportunities.
Their platform was also integrated with their customs broker, allowing the retailer to automate a large degree of manual data entry. The result was a substantial reduction in time taken to input data, enabling the retailer’s employees to focus on more value-added work
