How a global food company reached 2x faster order-to-cash flows
A global food and beverage company with 275,000+ employees replaced batch-based integrations across its supply chain with real-time interfaces. An SAP BTP architect led a 10-person team over 15 months and delivered 100+ integrations, processing 1M+ transactions per day and running order-to-cash and logistics flows twice as fast.

The challenge
The company ran a globally integrated supply chain on multiple disconnected systems, with batch-based integrations that delayed order-to-cash and logistics processes and gave no real-time view of orders, shipments, and inventory. It needed an integration platform that could scale with global operations.

Questions
How was real-time supply chain visibility achieved?
The team replaced batch-based integrations with real-time interfaces for orders, shipments, and inventory. These were built with APIs and IDocs across SAP and non-SAP systems, so supply chain data now moves between platforms as events occur instead of on a schedule.
What scale does the integration platform handle?
The platform processes more than 1M transactions per day across 100+ integrations covering supply chain, logistics, procurement, and supplier platforms. Order-to-cash and logistics flows now run twice as fast as before, and the design supports further global growth.
How long did the project take and who delivered it?
A team of 10 delivered the full lifecycle in 15 months: design, build, testing, and deployment. An SAP BTP architect led the global integration architecture and the S/4HANA integration work for supply chain processes.
