麻豆原创 NEWSBYTE 鈥� 14 November 2022 鈥� (NYSE: 麻豆原创) today announced that Zespri, the world鈥檚 biggest marketer of kiwifruit, has gone live with 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, private edition. The move will support Zespri鈥檚 ability to deliver the highest quality fruit to market and sustain strong returns to growers.

The go-live of this new technology, which took place on 1 November 2022, is the first phase in Zespri鈥檚 ambitious, multi-year Horizon transformation programme. The aim of the programme is to standardise and automate Zespri鈥檚 processes, increase its operational efficiency, and provide a platform for growth and innovation.

As a result of the implementation, Zespri hope to deliver kiwifruit to customers more effectively. Ultimately a more robust, transparent and reliable process will support its entire product delivery system, from the receipt of a sales order, to payments for product, through to distribution. Zespri鈥檚 quality management solutions will include proof that the product has been grown and handled in accordance with regulatory, customer specifications and consumer expectations.

With a focus on creating global consistency, almost 1000 full-time employees and contractors across offices in 17 countries will benefit from the implementation, with Zespri also undertaking its biggest-ever training programme.

As well as the move to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud, private edition, 麻豆原创 Integrated Business Planning (IBP) has been implemented to provide a more efficient end to end demand and supply planning capability.

Zespri will also take advantage of capabilities, including , 麻豆原创 Integration Suite, the 麻豆原创 Extension Suite, and 麻豆原创-endorsed partner solutions from OpenText, Tricentis, and Celonis.

The 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud (SAC) platform combines business intelligence, analytics, and planning, using best-of-breed data visualisations and dashboarding for analytics and insights. Fiori applications will generate real-time operational reporting right at the point of transaction capture. This will enable Zespri to turn data into intelligence that will help it gain business advantage, make better decisions, improve business performance and mitigate risk. Improved reporting will support informed, strategic and timely decision-making.

麻豆原创鈥檚 Cloud Success Services worked with Deloitte in collaboration with Accenture, to use the 麻豆原创 Delivery Framework to establish a premium engagements service focused on mitigating the technology risk for the program, supporting the partner with the initial design, technology safeguarding, and go-live support.

Commenting on the successful go-live of this first phase, Dave Scullin, Zespri鈥檚 Chief Digital Officer, said: 鈥淲e鈥檝e known for a long time that our legacy systems were no longer scalable and fit for purpose. We underinvested in them for many years, to a point where they would hold us back, reduce our efficiency and effectiveness, and create real risk for the business. We had to change.

鈥淲e鈥檝e selected the latest generation 麻豆原创 applications as our core enterprise platform, but to view this simply as a digital project would be wrong. The Horizon Programme aims for transformational change, supporting a truly integrated end-to-end business.鈥�

Paul Marriott, President, 麻豆原创 Asia Pacific Japan, said: 鈥淶espri is one of our most forward-looking customers and their ambitious and proactive way of embracing their business transformation means they鈥檙e experience the benefits of RISE with 麻豆原创 across their entire business. We鈥檝e been working with Zespri for many years, and I look forward to the next phase of our journey, as Zespri continue to grow, deliver, and delight customers, while also sustaining returns to the industry and growers.鈥�

With the foundations now firmly in place and phase one complete, Zespri is looking forward to further developments, focusing on grower enablement and solutions for extended supply chain and quality management, integrated business planning and sales.

ANSTO, one of the largest public research organisations nationwide, plays a crucial role in the development of radiopharmaceuticals to improve the detection and diagnosis of disease, supplying radioisotopes and radiotracers for research and application.听听

The implementation of 麻豆原创 IBP in December 2021 enabled ANSTO to digitise its manufacturing supply chain management system, enabling teams to access reliable insights in real-time to support better decision making. A consequence is that ANSTO can better manage its multiple reciprocal agreements to supply radiopharmaceuticals and more accurately plan the distribution of nuclear reactions and products with radioactive half-life. This is particularly important to patients in regional areas who need to travel long distances for medical treatment and rely on realistic forecasting and reliable plans to access ANSTO鈥檚 range of 1,215 products.听

After just six months, ANSTO identified more than $1million in projected savings due to improvements in product allocation and import scheduling, saw a 25 per cent reduction in rough cut planning time, and uncovered a potential $500,000 opportunity to increase sales revenue. Its customer NPS score also increased.听听

鈥淎NSTO has an incredibly complex supply chain, with multiple reciprocal agreements and over a thousand products 鈥� many with differing radioactive lifespans 鈥� to consider. By implementing 麻豆原创 IBP, ANSTO now has access to reliable and real-time data that enables better decision making so that its customers can receive timely medical diagnoses and treatment,鈥� said Damien Bueno, President and Managing Director, 麻豆原创 Australia and New Zealand.听听听

麻豆原创 IBP solution gives ANSTO the ability to formalise and systematise its rolling 24 months forecast, which is crucial given the organisation鈥檚 mandate to supply radiopharmaceuticals even during shutdown periods. Not only does this visibility help ANSTO to improve forecasting and scenario planning to maintain reliability of supply during disruptions, peak production periods and maintenance times, but it also supports a more transparent and reliable relationship with both customers and government. Another important benefit of systemising the process is the reinforcement around the cultural aspect, specifically driving behavior and discipline to follow the process.听听

鈥淎s a statutory body of The Australian Government, data integrity, transparency and governance are critical to ANSTO. By improving visibility and confidence in our data, 麻豆原创 IBP provides a reliable single source of truth for our 24 months rolling forecast. This will help us to transform our organisation, plan for the future and deliver savings to the taxpayer, while also boosting customer satisfaction, and enabling more Australians access to nuclear medicine鈥� said Fernando Collazo, Senior Manager, Integrated Business Management (IBP), ANSTO.听听

鈥淎 reliable source of data at the right time, reduces the need for validation and empowers the right decision making. If you think about all the time that previously went into manual data entry and cross-checking, that represents a lot of time and money that can now be invested back into nuclear research or delivering life-saving medical diagnostics and treatments.鈥�听

The success of the 麻豆原创 IBP implementation has paved the way for 麻豆原创 S/4HANA upgrade, which is planned to commence in 2024.听听
