Optimization from Supply Chain to Plate
OBASE’s ReplenishmentQSR solution ensures a seamless flow from customer demand to product, from product to recipe, and ultimately from recipe to order across all of BELTUR’s operations. This solution reduces waste and excess stock while accurately determining customer demands, leading to significant savings in resources and costs. Additionally, data-driven insights identify customer habits, optimizing orders sent to production centers and suppliers. The transparent management panel provided by OBASE allows for easy monitoring and control of processes.
"Preventing Waste is Our Priority"
BELTUR General Manager Osman Cenk Akın noted that food waste amounts to approximately $1.5 trillion annually worldwide and emphasized that the main objective of digital transformation projects at BELTUR is to prevent waste and maximize efficiency. Akın made the following remarks about the collaboration with OBASE: "The project and applications we have implemented with a focus on efficiency and sustainability at BELTUR are yielding successful results. The Replenishment project we initiated with OBASE has facilitated digitalization in our growing operations and various service channels. With the AI-supported solution, we have gained the ability to forecast accurately and conduct automated inventory management, thus rapidly reaching our efficiency and sustainability targets."
"Efficiency Increases at Every Step"
OBASE CEO Dr. Bülent Dal stated that BELTUR’s digital transformation process represents an important public responsibility for OBASE. Highlighting the challenges faced by BELTUR before the project, Dal said, "We targeted improvements in inefficiencies such as holding excess stock of low-selling products, the inability to procure components in sufficient amounts that need to transform from raw materials into final products, and high levels of spoilage. Thanks to the Replenishment solution, spoilage rates and excess inventory burdens were reduced, while sourcing the right products at the right time resulted in a significant increase in customer satisfaction. We are very pleased to embark on a successful project with BELTUR that allows for a better understanding of customers and optimal resource management using data-driven insights through our Replenishment solution."
Availability Increased by 30%, Spoilage Reduced by 60%
OBASE’s ReplenishmentQSR solution has yielded tangible results, including a 30% increase in product availability, a 50% reduction in inventory costs, and a 60% decrease in spoilage rates. These gains enhance operational efficiency in businesses while contributing to long-term sustainability goals.
The project between OBASE and BELTUR, of strategic significance, has created a success story that serves as a model in digital transformation processes. The combination of OBASE’s advanced technological solutions and BELTUR’s industry experience enables the possibility of sustainable success. The efficiency gains provided by digitalization modernize BELTUR’s operations in the food sector while the steps taken to prevent waste serve as a significant example throughout the industry.
