Optimize Your Food & Beverage Supply Chain with SAP

SAP Supply Chain Solutions for Food and Beverage

Addressing Margin Pressure, Compliance Risk, and Operational Drag

In Food & Beverage, execution is everything. Quality, shelf life, traceability, and speed must coexist without margin erosion. But while most organizations run SAP, few fully activate its potential. That’s where Reveal comes in.

Across the industry, executive teams are confronting the same hard truth: SAP is underused, and the result is costly. Manual workarounds, data distrust, and misaligned planning behaviors drain profitability, drive up waste, and slow response. Reveal helps you close the gap—unlocking the value already built into your SAP system to drive measurable, sustained improvement.

The Executive Reality: SAP Underuse Is Hiding Profit Leakage

  • Your costs are creeping up—yet your systems are loaded with duplicate effort, manual overrides, and underutilized logic.
  • Inventory is bloated or expiring, but no one trusts the forecast—or connects demand to MRP to shop floor to shelf.
  • Regulatory pressure is intensifying, but your traceability processes rely on disconnected data and firefighting.
  • Customers expect flawless delivery, but OTIF metrics suffer due to siloed planning and warehouse inefficiency.

These aren’t technology failures—they’re execution failures, hidden in how your teams engage with SAP.

From Firefighting to Flow: Reveal’s Business-First Approach

Reveal works alongside your teams to realign business behavior with SAP best practices—no new software, no custom code, no waiting for a reimplementation.

We start by identifying where SAP is being bypassed or misused. Then we enable your teams to trust the data, follow the signals, and drive performance. Using our oVo® methodology, we coach planners, buyers, schedulers, and warehouse leads to adopt practices that:

  • Align forecasts with actual supply planning
  • Ensure ATP logic reflects true constraints and allocations
  • Automate procurement while enforcing contract terms and sourcing quotas
  • Connect production schedules to real capacity, freshness, and shelf-life rules
  • Optimize warehouse movements with batch control and picking strategies that support compliance and speed

In other words, we help you run SAP as it was intended—to power an agile, accountable, and profitable supply chain.

What That Looks Like in Practice

  • $53M in working capital recovered at a global food manufacturer by eliminating inventory inefficiencies and improving MRP trust.
  • 39% inventory reduction achieved—without impacting service levels.
  • 53% decrease in exceptions and planning inefficiencies at a premium beverage producer after aligning forecasting, allocations, and fulfillment logic.

This is what happens when SAP becomes a system of performance, not just a system of record.

Sustainable Change. Executive-Level Results.

Reveal’s oVo® methodology—Discover, Educate, Adopt, Sustain—is not a consulting engagement. It’s a transformation catalyst. We don’t just diagnose problems—we change the way your teams operate, and we leave behind a performance system that sticks.

We help the 9 become the 1—bridging the gap between the 90% of organizations that underuse SAP and the elite 10% who use it to drive EBITDA, cash flow, and resilience.

If you’re ready to reduce working capital, accelerate flow, and meet demand with confidence, it’s time to look inward—at the SAP system you already own.
