Sysco LABS, the captive innovation centre for Sysco, the world’s largest foodservice provider, won two prestigious awards at National Ingenuity Awards 2023.
Organised by SLASSCOM, the awards, now in its fifth year, recognise the remarkable talent and achievements of individuals, school teams, universities and companies across Sri Lanka, under multiple categories.
The Sysco LABS Engineering and Architecture Group’s (EAG) Process team was adjudged winners in the Best Innovation in Internal Processes, Technology or Framework – All Island and Best Innovation in Internal Processes, Technology or Framework – Western Province categories.
Speaking about the awards, Sysco LABS Managing Director Rasika Karunatilake said, “Innovation of internal processes, technology and frameworks are as important as product and service innovations because they enable you to operate at a superior level. I’m proud of the team’s work in creating the Beacon Dashboard Suite and we are honoured to receive this recognition for our continuous improvement and optimisation efforts.”
The winning Beacon Dashboard Suite and supporting process framework were created by Sysco LABS’ Process Team, with the support of engineers from different teams, with the aim of transforming the company into a metrics-driven organisation. The solution ensures a greater level of transparency across different teams and provides valuable insights. It facilitates data-driven decision-making throughout the organisation.
Elaborating on the winning tool, Director Engineering and Architecture Nishantha Hettiarachchi added, “Being an engineering organisation, Sysco LABS generates a significant volume of data in our day-to-day operations. However, this data often resides in disparate systems and exists in different formats, tailored to specific operational needs. As a result, it may not be readily consumable by senior leadership. Our process team’s focus was on creating a tool to facilitate data accessibility and develop a leadership dashboard designed to present the most vital information in a unified view – ensuring everyone within the organisation could be on the same page.”
