Jerry Lee, director of IT at Standard Foods shared, “Rimini
Street immediately halved our annual support costs and helped our
SAP systems run better than ever before. Because of the
efficiencies gained, my IT team can focus on using data to improve
sales estimations and benefit our partners and distributors. It
will be a game-changer for Standard Foods, made possible by Rimini
Street.”
Better Software Support Allows for More Focus on Data
Initiatives
On a search for better software support, Standard Foods received
strong recommendations by multiple IT partners and peers to explore
Rimini Street.
“What impressed me the most about Rimini Street was that they
took the time to get to know our systems in detail, and understand
our vision,” said Lee. “What sometimes took weeks to get resolved
with SAP, compared to the timeliness of the support that Standard
Foods gets from Rimini Street is really something else,” according
to Lee. He added, “The combination of fast response and expert
solutions has allowed us to increase our investment in AI and
machine learning but with less staff needed to keep those systems
running at full speed.”
“With Rimini Street, we only need three people to support the
five SAP modules we use, and we maintain full functionality,” Lee
shared. This frees up Standard Foods’ IT team to work on strategic
projects such as shifting from SAP’s BI reports to Power BI and
cloud-based machine learning for data analysis. By integrating AI
with real-time data, Standard Foods has enhanced decision-making
across its supply chain.
“Predicting how much to order is an ongoing challenge for
manufacturers, and a misstep in calculations in the supply chain
can impact profitability,” Lee noted. “By running various models
with real-time data and AI tools, we can both refine order
recommendations and improve procurement processes.”
Flexibility and Control of its IT Roadmap Alleviates S/4HANA
Upgrade Pressure
As an SAP ECC shop, Standard Foods is one of the many SAP
customers who will no longer receive vendor support for its ECC
platform past 2027. But they are unbothered by the timeline as they
are in full control of their IT roadmap since partnering with
Rimini Street.
“At this moment, moving to S/4HANA is not a priority nor do we
see it as a strategic move for our business. The ROI is just not
there. Perhaps in the future, we may want to consider it, but for
now, our efforts and focus will be on innovation, growth and
profitability,” said Lee.
“One of the impactful areas for AI in the supply chain is demand
forecasting. According to industry analysts, AI-based forecasting
techniques that incorporate real-time and multivariate data sources
can reduce forecasting errors by up to 50% compared to traditional
time-series based methods,” said Tyler Munger, vice president of
analytics at Rimini Street. “Many of our manufacturing clients
partner with Rimini Street to direct resources towards investing in
AI-fueled improvements that help with their top and bottom-line
goals.”
With Rimini Street, Lee has peace of mind knowing that his team
can access SAP expertise 24/7/365 with under 2-minute average
response times as they continue to evolve their IT roadmap. This
strategic partnership allows Standard Foods to continue its mission
of promoting healthy living by using data to optimize
operations.
