Case Study: Melger’s Dranken achieves full overview of its beverage business with Aptean Food & Beverage ERP (DIN Edition)

Melger’s Dranken gains full overview of their beverage business with Aptean

Melger’s Dranken is a rapidly growing beverage wholesaler in the Netherlands with one of the largest assortments and a strong regional delivery service. Growth exposed limits in their legacy software: inventory wasn’t properly maintained or monitored, packaging and pallet values were unclear, margins and customer profitability lacked visibility, and the system couldn’t support required excise (EGL) registration.

They implemented Aptean Food & Beverage ERP (DIN Edition) with modules like a B2B order site, Bonus Management and reporting tools. The new system centralized processes, automated bonus calculations, enabled excise readiness, and restored visibility into stock, packaging (€70k in packaging value) and pallet holdings, reducing declined sales, improving per-customer margin insights and saving significant time for finance and operations.
