Which ERP systems are recommended for beverage companies managing global sales and supply chain?

Members running beverage businesses have recommended two specific platforms: - **SAP B1** — cloud-based version of SAP used by major global drinks companies. Praised for comprehensive functionality at lower cost than the full enterprise system (avoids the £15–20k server requirement of traditional SAP). Suitable for scaling operations with global reach. - **Bevica** (bevica.com) — a beverage-specific ERP. Members use this for supply chain and sales management. The original question also mentioned **Catalyst** as a consideration, though no direct user feedback was shared in the discussion. SAP B1's cloud deployment and lower capex barrier make it accessible to growing producers, while Bevica offers industry-specific features.
