Digital Transformation at Nescafé

Why are the most successful companies in the world no longer content themselves with an annual inventory? Because dead capital is lying dormant on balance sheets if you don't know the location and condition of your physical assets.

When Nescafé opened their new plant in Schwerin, they were looking for more than just inventory help. They were looking for an intelligent asset management solution that would bridge the gap between physical reality on the assembly line and the global SAP system at headquarters.

From passive inventory to intelligent asset With seventhings, mere “inventory” became a strategic tool. Every asset — whether production machine or IT equipment — was given a digital identity. The seamless integration into the international project team and the connection to the SAP system (SAP R/3) created a “single source of truth.”

Three benefits that go beyond the label:

‍

1. Asset intelligence instead of a data cemetery: Warranty documents, maintenance intervals and invoices are no longer buried in folders. They are available with a scan of the asset. This saves hundreds of hours of maintenance work per month.
2. Audit security at the push of a button: The SevenThings app captures status reports and photos directly on site. Nestlé thus meets the highest compliance standards without administrative overhead.
3. Ready-to-run service: seventhings not only provided software, but the entire infrastructure — from preconfigured scanners to security labels. The rollout took place just in time for the plant opening without straining Nestlé's IT resources.
