How Did a Thai Breadcrumbs and Seasonings Company Make Its Business Processes As Irresistibly Crisp As Its Crunchy Coatings?

Whether it’s deep-fried shrimp covered in crispy breadcrumbs or tasty tempura vegetables, for foodies the world over, there’s something deliciously irresistible about a golden crunchy coating. Thailand’s R&B Food Supply Public Company Limited has built its business on it. Comprising four companies, R&B Food Supply Public Company Limited is a leading manufacturer of breadcrumbs, seasonings, food colors, and flavors for the food industry. With plans to list on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, the company needed to set its sights beyond satisfying consumers’ palates for visual impact, flavor, and crunch. It needed to scale its business processes to support its initial public offering.

Drawing on specialized business consulting from partner ISS Consulting (Thailand) Ltd., R&B Food Supply Public Company Limited implemented SAP S/4HANA® as its new intelligent ERP. With this technology underpinning its operations, the company’s finance, controlling, sales and distribution, materials management, production planning, quality management, and plant maintenance would be able to undergo thorough premarket scrutiny prior to listing. This scalable technology also supports R&B Food Supply Public Company Limited’s plans for future expansion and enables the business to take advantage of in-memory data. Faster business analysis is helping this breadcrumbs maker formulate new products that perform as well in commercial kitchens as they do on consumers’ plates.

Achieving operational excellence is crucial before our IPO. With tighter maintenance planning, we’re now spending more time on corrective maintenance actions – which is ultimately better for our business and helps our equipment last longer.
