Euro Pizza Products and New York Pizza have launched a comprehensive overhaul of their Supply Chain Planning and Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) processes. With this initiative, they are setting a new benchmark for the Dutch food sector, which is facing increasingly volatile supply chains.
As sister companies, Euro Pizza Products and New York Pizza are leading players in their respective fields – producing high-quality pizza dough products and operating as an internationally expanding pizza chain. Their rapid growth, combined with highly fluctuating international supply chains and shifting consumer preferences, makes the planning of procurement, inventory, sales, and production highly complex. To address these challenges, the companies have partnered with REMIRA, a global provider of solutions for Integrated Business Planning (IBP), supply chain management, and S&OP.
End-to-End Innovation
Through intelligent software and innovative methodologies, a fully integrated planning solution is being implemented that connects every link in the chain: forecasting, sales planning, demand planning, inventory and MRP planning, procurement planning, and production planning including scheduling.
This significantly enhances delivery reliability to customers through accurate, data-driven forecasting that continuously responds to market demand, promotions, seasonal fluctuations, and consumption trends. Forecasts are directly linked to operational capacity, resulting in a future-proof supply chain that not only boosts customer satisfaction and revenue, but also reduces working capital requirements.
For Euro Pizza Products, one of the major challenges lies in increasingly unpredictable international raw material markets and supply chains, while customer growth at home and abroad continues. This combination calls for a planning process that goes far beyond traditional methods. By adopting data-driven forecasting and integrating procurement, inventory, and production planning, the company can maintain full control of the supply chain, ensure delivery reliability, and keep costs under control.
Johan van Hemert of REMIRA Netherlands explains: “Intelligent software is only one part of the solution. Sharing data earlier and more effectively with external partners, involving more internal functions in procurement, inventory, production, and sales planning, and working with complex scenarios are at least equally important.”
