Role of SAP Business One in Tackling Tricky
Challenges of Food Beverage Industry
The food and beverage industry has seen
tremendous growth in recent years. However, as
the sector flourishes, we see a rise in
challenges and competition. Be it a restaurant
owner or a retail food and beverage dealer,
everyone has to deal with different problems. ERP
for the food and beverage industry can work
wonders and help business owners to meet the
challenges efficiently. The food and beverage
industry is one of the most highly regulated
sectors and therefore, it poses different
challenges as compared to manufacturing units.
Most of its challenges are related to maintaining
the food quality and managing the inventory while
following strict hygiene standards.

How Food and Beverage ERP Solutions Address
Challenges?
1 Compliance with Regulations
The food regulatory authorities have set the
rules for every aspect of the food and beverage
industry ranging from raw materials to finished
products and packaging to marketing. If any of
these rules are ignored, chances are high that
the authority takes strict action against the
vendor or manufacturer. The SAP Business One
solution can assist in maintaining compliance
with the regulations by offering functions like
recipe management, production scheduling, and
warehouse management. It has a major role to play
in managing and controlling the entire operation
from the raw material to distribution of the food
and beverages.
Here we mention some of the most common
challenges of the food and beverage industry and
how the SAP Business One solution can address
them.

Packaging Requirements
Frozen foods are stored either in tin or glass
packaging, whereas plastic bags are used for
storing dry foods. In other words, every food or
beverage has a different packaging need on the
basis of its nature and composition. SAP Business
One-based ERP for food and beverage industry can
maintain the records of packaging for particular
products. Also, the material requirement planning
and co-products management functions are also
useful to manage the packaging requirements. SAP
Business One integrates the packaging
requirements with the inventory department and
ensures the supply of packaging material.

Inventory Management
Managing inventory in the food and beverage
industry is quite a task. Thankfully, the SAP
Business One solution has a dedicated function
for inventory and warehouse management that can
assist you to store different food products in
suitable storage conditions. This feature offers
the management of both raw material and final
product. It can assist the food and Beverage
Company to get rid of the loss occurred due to
storage mismanagement. Higher accuracy and
efficiency is an outcome of inventory management
feature.

Waste Management
Wastage is a big challenge for the food and
beverage industry. Precautions are necessary
while dealing with the waste material as the
major part of the waste is perishable. SAP
Business One solution offers waste management and
scrap management features to ensure proper
disposal of the food waste. A reliable SAP
Business One partner can develop a customised
solution for effective waste management as per
your business requirements.

and export management, and service management are
useful to simplify and automate various processes
of the food and beverage industry. Automation

and enhances productivity. Data gathering,
access, and sharing can be done in a real-time
thanks to food and beverages ERP solutions.
