Background and Circumstances of System Implementation

For many years, they had been using a core system based on an office computer, but challenges such as difficulty in data utilization, duplicate data entry, and manual transcription due to the concurrent use of multiple systems had become issues. The separation of systems between the procurement and sales departments also led to operational silos.

Against this backdrop, considering the end of maintenance for their office computer, they explored a transition to an updatable ERP system. They adopted 'Super Cocktail Core FOODs', conducted a business review, and proceeded with system centralization from procurement to sales, along with improvements in business flow and digitalization.

Effects After Implementation

- Systems centralized from procurement to sales, facilitating easier data utilization - System quickly adopted due to customization considering business practices, and digitalization advanced - Business flows brought closer to industry-standard mechanisms

Future Developments

Approximately two years have passed since the implementation of Super Cocktail. While leveraging the current operations, they are considering further functional utilization. With BI tools integration in view, they plan to expand the scope of use and aim to strengthen their business foundation as an investment to make the company's 'legs and body' stronger.
