Dream big, act smart - Manna Foods dreams big
Facing accelerated growth, Manna Foods recently implemented SAP S/4HANA ERP alongside delaware’s experts. With the solution driving more mature, streamlined processes, the food firm set its sights on a groundbreaking supply chain transparency solution – choosing delaware’s unique ‘innovation-as-a-service’ approach.
Manna Foods has a dream: complete transparency over its supply chain, from the farmer raising crops and livestock to the end consumer selecting the product from the grocery store shelf. This transparency would enable not only the company, but also the end consumer to accurately trace ingredients – for detailed insights into origin, transport, temperature, processing status, and more.

How La Lorraine Bakery Group uses IoT to grow sales
Does this sound familiar to you? After a long work day, you’re rushing to the supermarket to get some bread, only to arrive at an empty shelf. For La Lorraine Bakery Group (LLBG), these missed sales are a major source of frustration as well. LLBG IT manager Bart D’haese went looking for ways to improve the coordination between supply and demand. The company’s goal is to improve its sales by at least 5%.
If you, like most people, regularly eat bread, chances are you’ve already had a taste of LLBG’s passion for baking. Every day, this bakery company provides countless supermarkets and bakeries with breads and pastries. “Clients can send in their orders until 3:30 PM the day before,” explains Bart. “Our team then makes sure we deliver early the next morning, so stores can greet their customers with that delicious scent we all love.”
