Transforming Food & Beverage Distribution with System Upgrade
Dynamics 365 Business Central Upgrade
Moving to Business Central from Outdated Legacy System
Client Overview
FreshBite is a growing beverage company offering flavored and energy drinks to a wide audience. The drinks are distributed to cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, and stores. As demands grew, the distribution network expanded, but the legacy systems could not keep up. This growth required a modern system to efficiently manage the complete production process from start to finish.
Business Challenges
The business challenges included limitations related to growth and distribution.
Unproductive planning
The legacy system was unable to process a large number of beverage manufacturing orders, leading to a product shortage.
Ingredient Traceability
As the business worked with multiple suppliers, it became difficult to track raw materials and their availability without a centralized system.
Batch Management
It became difficult to manage perishable products as the system could not monitor product batches.
Distributor Order Management
Orders arriving from various channels were not automatically processed, resulting in slower deliveries and a fragmented process.
Limited Visibility
The lack of financial reports did not provide visibility into production costs, the supply chain, or operational dependencies.
Business Requirements
FreshBite Beverages was in dire need of an ERP system that could provide advanced automation and planning capabilities for distribution workflows and manufacturing.

Inventory governance protocols
A system with strict inventory control and tracking the perishable products to get along with the safety standards of the industry
