Case Study: Shanghai Ziyan Food Co., Ltd. improves food safety and supply chain efficiency with SAP S/4HANA

Shanghai Ziyan Food: How to Grow from a Sichuan-Based Company into a National Enterprise

Shanghai Ziyan Food Co. Ltd., a food products company, faced the challenge of aligning its supply chain to ensure high food safety standards and consistent flavor while expanding nationally from its Sichuan base. Their goals were to integrate material, capital, and information flows, reduce operating costs, and eliminate food safety risks. To address this, the company turned to vendor SAP for its SAP S/4HANA solution.

By implementing SAP S/4HANA as its core information platform, the company centralized procurement, scaled production, and established rigorous quality control systems. This included processes to monitor raw materials and production in regional central kitchens. The vendor SAP helped them achieve a 75% reduction in their financial closing cycle, a 4-5% increase in sales forecast accuracy and on-time delivery, and a greater than 50% improvement in inventory management with fewer shortages.
