Now it all adds up for Damm

International expansion is one of the strategic axes of Damm, a company with a presence in more than 120 countries. As part of this fundamental axis for its growth, the brewer identified the need to modernize its management system for promotions and off-invoice agreements. The company’s current system supports all the group's commercial channels. However, it was not sufficiently scalable or operationally efficient enough to calculate monthly provisions and closure processes in the long term. After an exhaustive analysis of their large food accounts channel had concluded, Damm identified that Vistex was the best solution for supporting their business initiatives, calculating maximum net customer pricing, as well as making promotions management more efficient.

Damm implemented Solutions for SAP to manage off-invoice agreements and promotions for four commercial channels. Vistex’s Solutions for SAP was selected because it was embedded in SAP ECC and took advantage of SAP’s core environment. Resultantly, the software integrates with Damm’s channel management model solution, thus allowing the flow of information between BOARD, SAP ECC, and Business Warehouse to be maintained without the need for additional integrations with other systems. The native integration with SAP ERP and its customer master records ensures unique data maintenance in any applicable channel management processes, including pricing, master data, order to collection, and more. The system also benefits from complete traceability.

Implementing Vistex’s Solutions for SAP will allow Damm to optimize calculation processes and reduce the Customer Service Department’s administrative workload by automating processes, while minimizing the total cost of ownership.
