Britannia Collaborates with Accenture to Accelerate its Digital Transformation

MUMBAI; Sept. 29, 2021 – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has helped Britannia Industries Ltd. (BIL), India’s largest bakery foods company with presence in over 80 countries, accelerate innovation, capture value and improve the customer and supplier experience, through a holistic digital transformation program.

As Britannia’s partner on its digital journey, Accenture designed, developed and deployed a technology system based on SAP S/4HANA®. The new system has increased the visibility and accessibility of data across the organization and enabled deeper use of automation and analytics to guide business decisions.

The enterprise-wide program is focused on modernizing Britannia’s business model by digitizing essential services and processes, allowing the company to better respond to changing market trends. For Britannia’s large network of suppliers, this project will help streamline procurement and supply chain management, using SAP Ariba® solutions to expedite digital onboarding, contract management and procurement processes.
