The Brewing and Beverage Industry in Transition: Success Factors for SAP S/4HANA Implementation

At PRECOGIT, we are seeing profound change in the brewing and beverage industry, driven largely by technological advances and changing consumer habits. Companies in this industry are faced with the challenge of adapting and transforming in order to remain competitive. A central pillar of this transformation can be the implementation of SAP S/4HANA, an advanced enterprise software that helps companies become more agile, efficient and innovative.

We are aware of these challenges and support our customers in the brewing and beverage industry with our expertise and experience. Through our many years of experience and deep understanding of the industry, we have identified key success factors that companies should consider when successfully implementing SAP S/4HANA.


1. Holistic Planning and Preparation: A successful implementation of SAP S/4HANA requires comprehensive planning and preparation. Companies should analyze all relevant business processes to ensure that the software is optimally configured and that the company’s requirements are met.

2. Change Management: The introduction of SAP S/4HANA entails changes that must be accepted and supported by employees. Effective change management is crucial to ensure that employees successfully adopt the new processes and technologies.

3. Training and Education: To fully realize the benefits of SAP S/4HANA, it is important that employees have the necessary knowledge and skills. Training and education programs should therefore be an integral part of the implementation strategy.

4. Integration of Data and Systems: The integration of data and systems is critical to the success of SAP S/4HANA. Companies should ensure that their existing systems can be seamlessly integrated with SAP S/4HANA to ensure a smooth transition.

5. Continuous Optimization: The implementation of SAP S/4HANA is a continuous process that requires constant optimization. Companies should regularly review and adapt their processes to ensure that they meet changing requirements.
