Committing to ongoing excellence at
the brewery through integration
“Our vision for the future centers on advancing automation and leveraging powerful analytics to drive
success for both our teams and our customers. By creating a more simplified and collaborative
environment, we enable them to focus on what truly drives impact.”
Martin Procházka, Digital Transformation Director, Budějovický Budvar N.P.
The implementation of SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Private Edition at Budějovický Budvar N.P.
(Budweiser Budvar) has delivered impressive
system stability and capability, allowing the
company to simplify handling 100 export trucks
and 100 domestic routes. In the future, by
transforming subsidiaries into a unified process
model and building regional synergies using a
common ERP application and shared services, it
aims to harmonize and fine-tune sales and
demand planning processes. This will allow it to
reduce out-of-stocks, lower stock levels, and
enhance production and distribution planning.
To underscore Budweiser Budvar’s commitment
to continuous improvement and operational
excellence, further plans include replacing a
legacy warehouse management system with
the SAP Extended Warehouse Management
application. The aim is to reduce support costs
and boost warehouse performance. In parallel,
other important aspects of its strategy include
increasing sales productivity through segmentation
and automation, minimizing manual work in
procurement and finance through automation
use cases, and automating vendor interactions.
