Case Study: Melissa Kikizas cuts stock levels and delivery delays with IBM and SAP

Melissa Kikizas shrinks stock levels by 10 percent, boosts cash flow, cuts delivery delays by 20 percent

Melissa Kikizas S.A., a Greek producer of pasta and semolina, faced the challenge of reducing high inventory levels across its warehouses to improve cash flow, all while ensuring it could avoid stock-outs and continue to serve customer demand effectively. To achieve this goal and streamline its manual, time-consuming processes, the company partnered with vendor IBM for the implementation of end-to-end business processes supported by SAP ERP software.

The solution IBM implemented involved deploying integrated SAP applications hosted on a private IBM cloud. This provided Melissa Kikizas with a single system for complete visibility and control over its operations. The measurable results were significant: a 10 percent reduction in warehouse inventory, a 20 percent decrease in delivery delays, and a 25 percent avoidance in capital costs due to the cloud deployment.
