The Food & Beverage industry is under unprecedented pressure. Sustainability targets are tightening, supply chains remain volatile, margins are under attack, and consumer expectations evolve faster than ever. For enterprise F&B manufacturers in the Benelux, the question is no longer whether digital transformation is needed, but how to execute it with impact and speed.
Driving sustainable growth in Food & Beverage: why industry leaders turn to Infor CloudSuite
Across the sector, leadership teams are asking the same questions:
- How do we secure end-to-end visibility across the supply chain?
- How do we reduce waste while protecting margins?
- How do we prepare operations for new sustainability and compliance standards?
- How do we enable data-driven decisions instead of siloed reporting?
For F&B enterprises, ERP has become the strategic engine behind faster decisions, higher efficiency, and the ability to scale with confidence.
The ability to make fast, well-informed decisions is essential, and that requires an operational backbone that keeps pace with constant change. Volatility has become the norm: fluctuating ingredient prices, tighter sustainability requirements, and increasingly complex supply chains demand a level of insight and responsiveness that disconnected systems simply can’t provide.
A modern, industry-focused ERP gives organisations the transparency and predictability they need to manage this complexity. Not by removing uncertainty, but by enabling teams to respond to it in a smarter, more controlled way.
One organisation in the animal nutrition sector illustrates this shift particularly well.
Case study: how a leading global animal nutrition company drove sustainable transformation
In the animal nutrition industry, everything depends on precision. But for one leading company in this sector, maintaining that precision was becoming increasingly difficult. Demand fluctuated, raw material prices shifted unpredictably, and sustainability and traceability requirements tightened quarter after quarter.
Their teams knew that every delay or deviation had real impact. Not only on production costs, but on the farmers and producers who rely on them every day. With dozens of factories worldwide, thousands of employees, and material costs that changed constantly, the organisation faced a fundamental question: how can you stay stable in an environment that never stands still?
The move to Infor’s cloud-based, industry-focused ERP brought calm back into operations. With clearer demand and inventory visibility, automated repetitive tasks, and predictive planning, teams could finally focus on what matters most: producing more efficiently with less waste. The impact was visible on the shop floor and across the supply chain: better forecasts, fewer losses, quicker responses to market changes, and above all: an organisation that regained control over its own complexity.
What this organisation experienced is part of a broader trend across the Food & Beverage industry. Manufacturers adopting an industry-specific cloud ERP are seeing similar improvements, not just in isolated areas, but across their entire operation. Recent sector data shows just how significant this impact can be.
The broader impact: what Infor CloudSuite delivers across the F&B sector
The Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage Impact Report quantifies what leading manufacturers experience after implementing the solution:
- 71% increased automation of non-value-added tasks
Manufacturers eliminate manual reporting, redundant data entry, and disconnected processes, freeing teams to focus on value, not administration.
- 82% improved data quality and visibility
Thanks to a single data model, integrated analytics, and AI-supported insights, companies gain real-time visibility across the entire chain, from forecasting and production to inventory and compliance.
- 73% improved delivery performance and fulfillment
CloudSuite strengthens supply chain resilience with predictive analytics, better planning, and end-to-end orchestration.
- Faster time-to-value: measurable impact in just 6 months
Enterprise manufacturers report improvements significantly faster than with generic ERP systems.
This combination of automation, visibility, and supply chain performance delivers exactly what F&B companies in the Benelux need: operational resilience and sustainable growth.
What this means for F&B producers in the Benelux
For F&B manufacturers, this translates into less administration, less waste, more reliable forecasts, and far greater agility in responding to changes in price, demand, and supply.
This is especially true in the Benelux, home to some of Europe’s most advanced and highly regulated food producers. The region’s complexity requires an ERP that fits the industry, not one that must be endlessly adapted to it.
As the first local implementation partner for Infor M3 in the Benelux, YellowGround helps F&B organisations translate their operational challenges into a future-ready ERP foundation.
We work with a business-first, pragmatic approach: understand the process, simplify where possible and automate where it matters. No unnecessary complexity, but short communication lines, hands-on experts, and teams who speak the language of production, logistics, and supply chain.
If your organisation is navigating volatility, margin pressure, or increasing compliance demands, a modern ERP landscape can be the difference between reacting to disruptions or proactively steering with real-time insight.
