About The Customer
Ambev is a leading South American brewer and PepsiCo International, Inc.’s bottler outside of the U.S. Ambev and its subsidiaries produce, distribute and sell beer, carbonated soft drinks and other non-alcoholic and noncarbonated products in 14 countries (Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, El Salvador, Ecuador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Dominican Republic, Uruguay and Venezuela). The company holds a portfolio of “stars” including the beer brands Antarctica, Brahma, Bohemia, Skol, Original and Stella Artois; the carbonated soft drinks Guaraná Antarctica, Soda, Pepsi and Sukita; and the innovative H2OH! and Guarah! soft drinks.
The Challenge
Ambev, a leading South American brewer and PepsiCo International, Inc.’s bottler outside of the U.S., experienced a significant spike in order volume across its operating regions. This led to the company's decision to search for better transportation solutions that could handle increasingly complex demands from the company’s growing business. In addition to cost and efficiency concerns, Ambev also needed to ensure that customer service levels kept pace with increasing demand. Therefore, the company sought to improve asset utilization and processes while also positioning itself for continued future growth.
The Solution
Following an evaluation of the most relevant systems available in the market, Ambev decided to replace its legacy systems with JDA Software’s Intelligent Fulfillment™ solutions to better plan and manage its transportation network. Ambev also engaged JDA Services for the implementation project. The combined JDA and Ambev team initiated the installation in Brazil. Several factors made this project a complex implementation: Ambev had seven internal systems requiring integration points, seven separate partners that were involved in the project, as well as a sophisticated scope of business process requirements, such as advanced continuous moves, dock scheduling, fleet utilization and bottle returns.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
