Case Study: Guangzhou Mini King Food achieves real-time retail insights and 1-hour month-end closes with SAP HANA

How Do You Turn Chestnuts into Pearls on the Crown of the Snack Industry

Guangzhou Mini King Food Co. Ltd. is a fast-growing snack and leisure-food retailer with some 120 product lines, about 300 stores and 3,000 employees, aiming to expand nationally and internationally. Facing fragmented front‑ and back‑office systems, slow and inaccurate reporting, and the need for a scalable omnichannel logistics and e‑commerce foundation, the company set out to digitize operations and improve data timeliness to support growth.

Mini King implemented SAP S/4HANA Retail for merchandise management and the SAP Customer Activity Repository to unify finance, procurement and store operations and enable real‑time insights. The upgrade delivered real‑time profitability and inventory visibility, cut monthly closing from five days to one hour, sped store synchronization from next‑day to two hours, reduced warehouse costs and improved procurement, inventory turnover, customer recommendations and overall decision‑making.
