However, here we will look at the functionalities that will support the strategic priorities of grocery companies.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Reduced chances of running out of stock:<\/strong>\u00a0Managing a supply chain isn't always easy, especially when it comes to grocery items that include perishable items. Therefore, grocery companies need to ensure greater agility to find the right balance between shorter product shelf lives and longer lead times. This makes SAP S\/4HANA the ideal platform as it can be used to track product acquisition automatically. Even necessary adjustments to delivery schedules can be made to meet varying customer demands.<\/li><li><strong>Waste reduction:<\/strong>\u00a0As mentioned above, grocery businesses often need to deal with different seasonal and perishable items that need to be readily available, but cannot be overstocked as it will only lead to waste. Using SAP S\/4HANA can help ensure better management of these products with an efficient reordering approach made possible by improved inventory visibility.<\/li><li><strong>Reduced cost to manage inventory: the<\/strong>\u00a0Inventory management has long been an imperative but costly task for any grocery business. The main reason behind this is the inefficient distribution of inventory data, making it difficult to manage. However, that challenge can be easily addressed with SAP S\/4HANA as it stores all the data in a centralized database allowing everyone to easily access the data. This allows you to better manage orders, reduce the chances of bottlenecks and, at the same time, reduce the cost of inventory.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a35da8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6a35da8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How and where can grocery companies take advantage of SAP S\/4HANA?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2cc8f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d2cc8f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>SAP S\/4HANA is<a href=\"https:\/\/www.accely.com\/services\/s4-hana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">\u00a0<\/a>equipped with many different competencies that grocery businesses can further leverage to drive better results and gain an edge over the competition.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Customer Orientation:<\/strong>\u00a0SAP S\/4HANA's consumer analytics capabilities can be used to determine and segregate customer data based on different parameters, such as age, demographics, gender, and more. After that, the company can implement targeted marketing campaigns to capture the attention of any particular customer group and generate better results. This will also help the company to generate more ROI while reducing the marketing budget.<\/li><li><strong>Product promotion:<\/strong>\u00a0grocery companies can use the augmented predictive analytics and artificial intelligence capabilities of SAP S\/4HANA to generate valuable insights and data, and use it to implement targeted marketing and loyalty campaigns. Such capabilities can further be used to better understand a consumer's preferences and purchasing power to align promotional campaigns based on insights gathered in the process.<\/li><li><strong>Increased prices:<\/strong>\u00a0It has been observed in many different cases where grocery companies have leveraged the capabilities of SAP S\/4HANA to drive increased product prices. Using the solution to ensure proper pricing can help the company improve its profit margins and increase revenue generated simultaneously.<\/li><li><strong>Better inventory management:<\/strong>\u00a0SAP S\/4HANA analytics capabilities can help a grocery company generate better forecasts of customer demands based on insights generated from different data sets. This will help the company maintain the ideal inventory level, reduce the cost of managing inventory, and consequently improve the company's revenue.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ba9ffb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5ba9ffb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">final thoughts<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10ff828 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"10ff828\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>SAP S\/4HANA is a solution that is currently being used by companies of different scales from different industries.
