Case Study: Reynolds Catering Supplies achieves 92% faster supply chain data recovery with Veeam

Reynolds Adds Veeam to the Menu for Supply Chain Protection

Reynolds is a UK food-and-beverage distributor serving major restaurants and events, processing over 3,000 orders daily and employing around 1,200 people. Because orders must be mapped into its ERP from many proprietary systems, fast recovery of supply‑chain data is critical; Reynolds’ legacy backup was slow and hard to manage (hardware failures could mean six+ hours of downtime), putting service and deliveries at risk.

Reynolds deployed Veeam Availability Suite to back up 14 TB across 109 VMware VMs with copies sent to AWS, and uses Veeam DataLabs (On‑Demand Sandbox, SureBackup, Instant VM Recovery) for testing and verified recoverability. The solution made recovery 92% faster, protected critical delivery apps, reduced backup complexity (saving the equivalent of one full‑time role) and helped ensure reliable next‑day service.
