Case Study: Hero achieves a digitally harmonized supply chain with BearingPoint

Hero explores 5 ERP scenarios with BearingPoint to harmonize its supply chain

The Hero Group, an international family-owned food company, faced the challenge of deciding whether to upgrade its heterogeneous ERP landscape to meet evolving customer needs and increasing digital competition. Seeking clarity on future IT costs and aligned business processes, Hero engaged the consulting firm BearingPoint for guidance.

BearingPoint’s solution involved analyzing business processes and IT scenarios, identifying value levers, and exploring technical options. To demonstrate digitalization's potential, their Digital Factory team created a QR code prototype for jam products to personalize customer connections. As a result, Hero gained a clear vision and cost transparency for its future ERP landscape, equipping leadership to meet customer needs with harmonized processes and confidence. BearingPoint’s work enabled a strong, personalized customer connection through a digitally harmonized supply chain.
