Technology meets Industry:

- The proCONTRACTS | Beverage add-on reduces administrative work and provides real-time access to all information via a mobile app

- The add-on is based on the contract management solution proCONTRACTS for Microsoft Dynamics 365.
Hattersheim, 13 June 2023 – Digitalization is streamlining contract negotiations between breweries, other beverage manufacturers, and the food & beverage industry. Contracts are complex due to additional agreements and therefore require a high level of administrative effort in this area. That was yesterday! The digitalization specialist CRMFIRST has now developed a special add-on for the contract management solution proCONTRACTS based on the specific requirements of Heineken Germany. The “Beverage” add-on significantly simplifies and accelerates contract negotiations between manufacturers and the food & beverage industry, providing a new industry solution for the food and beverage sector. Heineken Germany, part of the world’s second-largest brewery group, has implemented this solution. Based on feedback, proCONTRACTS “Beverage” has been optimized and further developed. As a result Heineken Germany has digitized its sales processes and relieved field staff and customer management. Contract negotiations are also more efficient and significantly faster.

Customized for the food & beverage industry
The main reason why the contract is so complex is that there are various supplementary agreements, i.e. subordinate contracts, which concern, for example, the equipment of a restaurant, bar or discotheque, support with marketing and advertising or further agreements with the food & beverage trade. In the case of follow-up agreements, the relevant documents had to be picked out individually and updated and edited for the new contract. This is now a thing of the past, because all supplementray agreements are immediately available via a link to the CRM system (customer relationship management software).
The cloud solution is based on the contract management solution proCONTRACTS developed by CRMFIRST for Microsoft Dynamics 365. The new solution maps the entire process in one system: it extends the functions of Microsoft Dynamics 365 and operates on a modular principle, from which an individual enterprise solution can be put together. Companies can use CRMFIRST’s digital solutions independently or with the support of the expert team and adapt them to their respective requirements.
“With proCONTRACTS | Beverage, manufacturers in the food and beverage sector can digitize their sales process, making it considerably more efficient and faster. In a highly competitive market segment, such process simplification can provide a competitive advantage,” says Thorsten Bleifeld, CTO at CRMFIRST.
“We need a solution that is capable of supporting our rapid growth in Germany. The big advantage of Beverage lies in the fact that the contract management solution simplifies and automates the process, saving time for everyone involved,” says Philip Stern, Regional Sales Manager North-East at Heineken Deutschland.
