关于客户
Established in 1844, Alpina Savoie is a prominent player in the food production and distribution industry, specializing in pasta, couscous, semolina, and polenta. As the second-largest producer of pasta and couscous in France, the company generates an annual revenue of approximately €75 million. Alpina Savoie operates both domestically and internationally, distributing 700 varieties of its products. The company implemented SAP in 2001 to streamline its operations. Despite its significant market presence, Alpina Savoie is not a large corporation, which necessitates efficient management of its extensive product range and distribution network.
挑战
Alpina Savoie faced a significant challenge in managing a backlog of 100,000 out-of-date FICO transactions and maintaining 30,000 product references in SAP. The manual data entry process was time-consuming, with each transaction taking approximately one minute, limiting a single employee to 480 transactions per day. Developing a custom program to accelerate the data upload process was considered, but the costs were prohibitive, both in terms of initial development and ongoing maintenance. The company needed a robust yet flexible solution to handle large volumes of transactions efficiently and affordably.
解决方案
To address its challenges, Alpina Savoie implemented Automate Studio, a powerful yet user-friendly tool for uploading master data across various departments, including finance, accounting, material management, and production planning. Automate Studio's intuitive interface made it accessible to companies without extensive IT resources, allowing Alpina Savoie to execute large-scale transactions efficiently. The tool's first major test involved tackling a two-year backlog of 100,000 FICO transactions, which was completed in just two days. Automate Studio's ability to handle data uploads effectively and at a low cost enabled the company to perform detailed business analysis more frequently, enhancing its responsiveness and strategic decision-making.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
