Case Study: Distell achieves improved productivity and global collaboration with OpenText ECM solutions

Distell supports business growth through improved information management

Distell, a leading South African producer and marketer of spirits, wines, ciders and RTDs with nearly 5,000 employees and operations across 80+ offices, faced rapid growth that created fragmented, unstructured information and knowledge silos. Critical content was trapped in email and local files, making collaboration difficult and risking loss of corporate know-how as staff moved on.

Partnering with iFuture and OpenText, Distell rolled out an enterprise content management platform (Content Server, Document & Contract Management, Tempo Box, etc.) to centralize, secure and make content searchable and shareable. The solution now holds over 13 million assets, supports 500,000 daily activities, boosted workflow on‑time performance from 10% to 95%, and has improved productivity, employee empowerment and faster, more consistent adoption of innovation across the business.
