Case Study: Riverside Natural Foods achieves operational efficiency and growth with SAP

Riverside Natural Foods Prioritizing People, Planet, and Profit with SAP

Riverside Natural Foods, a manufacturer of healthy foods and snacks, wanted to improve operational efficiency while supporting growth targets. The company was struggling with disconnected processes, limited data visibility, weak master data governance, and manual spreadsheet-based workarounds, so it turned to SAP and its SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition solution.

SAP, with help from partner Talan, implemented a clean-core approach during a 15-month transformation that standardized processes, improved master data accuracy, and reduced reliance on customizations and shadow tools. The results included $1.7M in cost savings and cost avoidance, 42 FTEs in annual productivity improvement, better DSO, increased manufacturing capacity, and greater efficiency across financial, procurement, and order-to-cash processes.
