From Grass to Glass

As a producer and distributor of milk powders, used for children’s nutrition, for milk by the glass, or as an ingredient, Vreugdenhil brings you the best of milk on a daily basis. The most important raw material is raw milk, which is supplied by more that 800 Dutch farmers. This milk is being processed on three production sites and is then distributed to the Dutch market and to 130 countries around the world. Needless to say, Vreugdenhil requires an efficient, transparent and fully integrated system to ensure their processes run as smoothly as possible. Vreugdenhil brings you the best of milk, every day, with SAP S/4HANA.

Rest, Clarity and Regularity are Key

NTT DATA Business Solutions and Vreugdenhil managed to update the former ERP system under very difficult circumstances, which required a 24/7 mentality and night shifts. The pandemic did not make things easy, especially because Vreugdenhil deals with a supply chain that has little room for disruptions or errors. On top of that, the implementation project also happened during peak milk production season. The complicated circumstances meant that Vreugdenhil opted for a go-live in a phased approach.

Instant Success with Standardized Processes

SAP S/4HAHA is currently up and running at Vreugdenhil. Employees make less mistakes, the transparency has improved and, with just a few clicks, there now is real-time insight in business processes and data reports. Generating analytical reports used to take up a lot of time. Now, it’s done faster, more up-to-date, and with almost no errors, making the organization a lot more efficient and more scalable. SAP S4/HANA allows Vreugdenhil to apply standardized processes in all departments and parts of the supply chain.
