How a Leading Brewing Company Went From Zero to Hero

October 4, 2016

Solution: Using OpenText B2B Managed Services, the brewer automated manual processes that previously touched 25 different business systems, and was able to standardize communications across its vast distributor and retail network. They now have a real-time pulse on orders and inventory globally, ensuring it can meet customer and market demand.

Results: To date, the brewer has removed 4.3 million total labor hours from its distributor-to-retailer supply chain, and they reallocated 2,067 resources to higher value activities—translating to $86 million in savings and productivity gains. More importantly, the brewer has transformed its supply chain from zero to hero, and sets the bar for their retail customers.

About the Solution Provider: OpenText Business Network integrates messaging and B2B Integration services such as secure mail, large file transfer and EDI within a single platform – enabling transactions in the cloud or on-premises.
