With a wide-reaching operation, Swire Coca-Cola produces, bottles, and distributes an impressive portfolio of 60 beverage brands, serving a franchise population of over 956 million customers. To stay ahead in the competitive market and address operational challenges in Hong Kong, the company has implemented SAP S/4HANA with the support of SAP Customer Services & Delivery.

The solution enabled the company to harmonize its complex operations with flexibility, speed and insights required to tackle both present-day challenges and capture future opportunities in Hong Kong. By optimizing its multifaceted operations, including manufacturing, sourcing, financing, customer ordering, discount offering calculation, warehousing and delivery, Swire Coca-Cola can continuously support delivery across Hong Kong and leverage 360-degree real-time visibility of the automated pricing and offerings.

She also added, “SAP Customer Services & Delivery’ mission is to support our customers in their transformation journeys through the adoption of SAP solutions and innovations and to help address the challenges across multiple business units, processes and technical architectures by providing key outcome for their strategies, thereby maximizing their business values.”   

The complexity of Swire Coca-Cola’s implementation necessitated various end-to-end operations to run concurrently and incessantly. Starting with multiple in-depth discussions, the Customer Services & Delivery team laid out the foundation of the road ahead and identified a host of deployment milestones. To ensure a successful implementation, the team stationed on-site consultants at Swire Coca-Cola’s premises to refine and roll out several hundreds of system enhancements.
