Dietary supplement manufacturer scaling operations via ERP modernization
Nature's Way manufactures vitamins, herbal supplements, and branded products (Alive!, Fortify, Umcka, Sambucus) sold across retail, drug, mass, and eCommerce channels. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward SAP (classic + S/4HANA) and Microsoft enterprise infrastructure, with deep analytical chemistry tools (HPLC, HPLC-MS, GC-MS, LIMS) embedded in manufacturing operations. Active projects cluster around ERP transformation to S/4HANA, Azure Virtual Desktop deployment, and process automation — suggesting a mid-cycle shift from legacy on-premises systems toward cloud infrastructure and tighter operational workflows.
