N2 - The world of business demands continuous evolution, including delivering on global competitiveness, and environmental sustainability by migrating to evolving technologies. Companies find it difficult to capacitate with the appropriate skills to drive financial, environmental, and technological evolution. The onset of the Fourth Industrial revolution indicates that appropriate business processes, including identifying and selecting technological and environmental substitutions can be digitalized. This research paper reviews current digital strategies for automation of business processes associated with technological and environmental substitution. The South African food and beverage sector is adopted to develop a digital framework to test digitalisation of technological and environmental substitution. The researchers mature the framework into a python enabled toolset that screens in process centric technologies for substitution in the selected food and beverage company. The identification of relevant technologies is identified using a combination of natural language processing and graphical user interfaces for data filtering. The paper culminates in providing outputs of the toolset developed with details of the new technologies and impacts thereof.
