The aim of the implementation is to give Coca-Cola more information at the store and account level to improve its retail customer relationships.
Margaret Carton, Coca-Cola's chief information officer, said the new software should cut paperwork, ensure cash settlements are made properly and reduce wasted space in delivery lorries.
Coca-Cola already runs various ERP and supply chain management applications, including SAP's R/3 material and production planning applications. However, these systems do not connect store deliveries with back-end systems, Carton said.
