The 132-year-old KCT Soya Sauce is a remarkable example of how tradition can not only coexist but thrive with technology. By introducing AI and automation in sales analysis and procurement planning, the brewery has saved significant time on these tasks, effectively doubling its efficiency. This transformation has freed up valuable resources, empowering Alvin and his team to focus on customer relationships and revenue growth.
