Accenture has been selected by The Hershey Company to implement SAP S/4HANA as part of a programme designed to help the snacks company streamline its supply chain and manufacturing processes.

The move will also help the confectionery giant gain real-time customer insights to inform decision making, and accelerate revenue-generating innovation to drive growth.

The project is part of The Hershey Company’s strategy of growing core confectionery and snacking products, expanding margins and leveraging technology for competitive advantage.
