CFT Group, a global leader in manufacturing solutions for the food and beverage industry, faced mounting pressures to improve supply chain visibility, reduce inventory, and better align operations with business strategy. By partnering with Reveal, they transformed their SAP usage from under leveraged infrastructure to a true business asset. Through governance, education, and sustainable process optimization, CFT reduced exceptions by 50%, decreased inventory despite increased material volume, and positioned their supply chain for scalable growth.

The Challenge

CFT Group needed to address key inefficiencies across its supply chain operations. Their SAP system—while robust—wasn’t fully integrated into daily decision-making or strategic execution. This led to challenges with:

• Inconsistent data integrity, making accurate decisions difficult
• Limited visibility into supply chain bottlenecks
• Underutilized SAP functionality and fragmented workflows
• Misalignment across departments, slowing down performance and innovation

In short, they were leaving value on the table in both their operations and SAP investment.

The Decision

Recognizing the need for transformation—not just reconfiguration—CFT’s leadership chose Reveal after a comprehensive SAP Wellness Assessment. Reveal’s approach stood out by focusing not only on technology, but on people, processes, and governance to close the gap between SAP’s potential and actual business performance.

The Transformation

Together, CFT and Reveal launched a collaborative transformation initiative centered on:

• Implementing strong governance structures to drive cross-functional alignment
• Elevating team capabilities through education and training
• Embedding sustainable, measurable processes into daily operations
• Enabling real-time visibility and trust in supply chain data

This wasn’t a system upgrade—it was a mindset shift that empowered CFT’s teams to take control of their supply chain and turn SAP into a strategic enabler.

The Results

• Inventory Optimization: Achieved a 10% reduction in finished goods and sub-assemblies—despite a 27% increase in materials
• Exception Management: Cut “red light” issues by 25% and overall exceptions by 50%, significantly reducing operational fire drills
• Inventory Value Control: On track to optimize 80% of inventory value through more strategic material management
• Procure-to-Pay Efficiency: Recovered $6M in value by optimizing 707 materials across procurement processes

These outcomes delivered not only cost savings, but also greater agility, data confidence, and supply chain resilience.

CFT Group’s transformation illustrates what’s possible when SAP becomes more than just software—it becomes a business asset. With Reveal’s guidance, they unlocked profit hidden in operations, improved cross-functional collaboration, and laid the foundation for sustainable growth.
