Food and beverage distribution across beer, quick-service restaurant, and bottling
Reyes Holdings operates a sprawling distribution network across three business units—beer, QSR, and bottling—moving over 1.3 billion cases annually from 200+ locations. The tech stack reveals a security and compliance-first posture: heavy PKI, HSM, network controls (Cisco ACI, SD-WAN, Zscaler), and IAM tooling (Kerberos, OAuth, LDAP) dominate, while analytics stack (Power BI, Alteryx) and legacy ERP (Dynamics 365 Finance, Kronos) handle operational reporting. Hiring is operations-heavy with finance close behind, and active projects cluster around access governance, capital planning, and compliance—a maturity pattern typical of large, risk-conscious logistics orgs managing distributed physical assets.
