I have been using SAP for 20 years and this is the first time I really feel like I know exactly what I am doing
Delicato Family Wines, one of the world’s fastest-growing wine companies, faced rising inventories, low system trust, and inefficient supply chain operations despite using SAP for years. By partnering with Reveal and implementing the oVo® methodology, Delicato realigned master data, empowered its team, and streamlined operations using SAP as a true business asset. The results were remarkable: a 90% drop in service disruption risks, 96% fewer overdue demands, and optimized inventory across the board—unlocking hidden profit and enabling strategic growth.
The Challenge
Despite running SAP for two decades, Delicato’s supply chain team struggled with:

- Underutilized MRP and poor automation adoption
- Misaligned master data and inventory strategies
- Manual workarounds, frustrated users, and lack of system trust
- Limited visibility to inbound inventory and sales order commitments
- Reporting tools not supporting business KPIs
- SAP perceived as a burden, not a business asset
Delicato’s leadership recognized that these issues weren’t rooted in system capability—but in how the system was being used.
