Instant Platform for Grocery Wholesale & Foodservice

The goal

Transformation as dynamic as your business

KPS/foodservice is our out-of-the-box omnichannel platform for all businesses operating in food wholesale, including cash & carry markets and delivery services. The platform supports complex delivery scenarios including a wide range of value-added services to ensure that products arrive fresh and on time at the customer's door without any interruptions to the cold chain. The KPS Instant Platform enables our customers to achieve short product-to-market times as well as high inventory turnover rates and consistently supports their strategic priority of "anything, anytime, anywhere".

From a Value Chain to an Ecosystem

The latest food trends and innovative products have always ensured constant change in the everyday life of companies in food and beverage wholesale, now digitalisation is also changing the customer journey and expectations of B2B customers and thus their relationship with the wholesaler. New sales and distribution channels are being evaluated and digital touchpoints are being integrated into the own business model. In addition, the pandemic elevated the usage of online and direct sales, and products are increasingly sold directly to the end customer via digital platforms from regional producers.

To stay relevant, wholesalers need to explore integration scenarios with third-party providers and investing in their own digital platform. The digitalisation of the relationship between B2B customers and the wholesaler, including digital tools that significantly simplify processes, is necessary.

Insight

The digital platform for grocery wholesalers

The KPS/foodservice Instant Platform comes fully equipped with state-of-the-art, integrated and tested end-to-end business scenarios and use cases for hotels, restaurants, corporate and community catering, cash & carry markets, service providers but also for those who also supply private households. Full transparency on volumes, costs or prices for articles, management of bonus programmes as well as the possibility of playing out targeted campaigns and scenarios such as source-to-offer, acquire-to-retire, procure-to-pay, allocate-to-POS, offer-to-order, order-to-cash, return-to-credit, return-to-debit, inquire-to-service or record-to-report – all included. The processes are developed with KPS best practices for fresh produce, fruit, vegetables, frozen food, meat and fish, beverages, GNFR and services, as well as all delivery processes, and are fully implemented in SAP S/4HANA and Customer Experience Cloud solutions on the platform and can be accessed immediately.  

Best-practice processes and targeted customisation offer real added value for your customers and your brand.

In-house developments and modifications of formerly standard applications that have grown over years, as well as expensive functional process deviations in specialist areas, are a challenge for every transformation. Cut off old branches and invest in a new development - but without having to tackle a risky project lasting several years.

With the KPS Instant Platform KPS/foodservice, you buy an out-of-the-box platform on which you will find state-of-the-art processes for foodservice companies, including cash & carry markets and delivery services, end-to-end and immediately accessible, while at the same time having scope for differentiating individualisation.

The KPS/foodservice platform is the royal road to transformation: on the one hand, you can get rid of old burdens and on the other hand, you do not have to tackle a migration programme that will take years.

Der Königsweg der Transformation

1. Visible from day one

When you switch on the KPS Instant Platform, your future in foodservice begins at the touch of a button. You pick up your employees immediately, because their future work processes and tasks are visible from day one and can be experienced by them in the system.

1. Platform ready for immediate use

It's quite simple: the project becomes a product and your users now learn to use it. Similar to a cloud solution, processes and technology are provided ready to use and only need to be learned and used. However, unlike a cloud solution, we give you the freedom to define customised solution parts that differentiate you from the competition.
