How Can a Consolidated IT Platform Provide a Springboard for International Growth?

With a steady increase in demand for Asian flavors worldwide, international markets hold significant opportunities for Thailand’s food manufacturers. To take advantage of this growth potential, Thai Wah Starch Public Company Limited and Thai Wah Food Products Public Company Limited merged to create Thai Wah Public Company Limited. However, to support a strategy of global expansion, the headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand, needed to scale up its operations.

The company’s management team recognized that running disparate processes on two separate legacy IT systems would present an obstacle to business growth. With the help of ISS Consulting (Thailand) Ltd., Thai Wah deployed SAP S/4HANA® across the newly merged enterprise. Now, with a single, next-generation ERP solution in place, the company has streamlined operations, standardized processes, increased visibility, and established a firm foundation for future growth.

With unified IT systems, we’re in a better position to scale our business to take advantage of new opportunities in international markets.

Thai Wah Public Company Limited wanted to expand its customer base, taking advantage of rapid growth in the world food market. To support this, the food manufacturer replaced two disparate IT systems with SAP S/4HANA®. As a result, the company has established a platform for growth, with standardized processes, improved end-to-end visibility, and streamlined operations.
