Key Projects

B2B: Business Partner Development Program (Online)–“FLOW” Digital Platform for Growth
The FLOW application is a digital platform designed to simplify and enhance the purchasing process for retailers. By streamlining complex and error-prone procedures, FLOW enables faster and more convenient transactions. Retailers and wholesalers no longer need to wait for sales agents to restock products—they can now browse the full product catalog, select items, and place orders directly via mobile devices anytime, anywhere.

This system allows for better inventory management, enabling users to monitor stock levels, track order status, and schedule deliveries in alignment with specific business needs, while reducing the risks of stock shortages or overstocking.

Beyond operational efficiency, FLOW also empowers traders with data-driven insights and customized promotions tailored to each business. Users gain access to valuable analytics such as top-selling products, seasonal trends, and consumer demand patterns, helping them make smarter purchasing decisions aligned with market needs.

Business Investment Account under Distributor Vision 2025 in Vietnam
Distributor Vision 2025 (DV25) was launched with the aim of making champions of our partners, by providing them with exclusive privileges that will improve their competencies and competitive edge. SABECO is introducing Business Investment Account (BIA) under DV25 to support top-tier distributors’ (C1) capability development and strengthen long-term partnerships. The fund provides C1 with resources to expand operations and improve market execution.

By enabling investments in sales staff, truck purchases, crate deposits, coverage expansion, and capability- building, BIA supports sustainable C1 growth and reinforces their role as key partners in SABECO’s Route to Market (RTM) network while enhancing professionalism and competitiveness under DV25.

Distributor Management System (DMS) in Vietnam
DMS is SABECO’s central platform for managing Distribution and RTM data. Standardized data entry across C1 ensures a single, reliable source for governance and performance tracking.

With greater transparency and reduced manual work, DMS enables stronger data-driven sales and faster decision-making. Current adoption is over 90 percent, with full onboarding targeted by Q2 2026, further improving network-wide consistency.

Direct Delivery in Vietnam
The Direct Delivery initiative standardizes warehousing and logistics between SABECO and C1. Higher minimum order quantity (MOQ) and expanded palletized deliveries reduce small orders and improve warehouse efficiency.

This optimized model lowers logistics costs, enhances delivery reliability, and ensures a smoother supply flow to C1. It also increases C1 margins and allows them to better allocate their resources to serve the market.

Credit Cards for Selected Sub-Distributors (C2) (WIP) in Vietnam
Credit is essential in any business. SABECO is working with partner banks to offer credit card solutions to selected C2s, giving them access to credit lines for purchasing products without upfront capital.

This flexibility allows C2s to order more consistently throughout the month, reducing cash-flow pressure and improving inventory stability. As a result, C1 benefits from steadier sales, while Route-to-Market engagement and payment modernization increase across the ecosystem.
