Project teams face unique challenges when implementing food and beverage enterprise systems. Due to the complexity of such technology initiatives, it pays to ask questions about what’s critical to the business.
The 21st century business space is a competitive one, and implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is crucial for manufacturers and distributors who need to keep up with the competition. An ERP system helps streamline business processes, improve inventory management, enhance customer relationship management, optimize vendor management and maximize supply chain management. However, with numerous ERP systems available in the market, choosing the right one for your business can be a daunting task.
Ultra’s Founder and CEO Jeff Carr recently teamed with Manufacturing Business Technology magazine for a webinar entitled “ERP for manufacturing and distribution: Are You Blind to the Dangers of Outdated ERP Systems?”
Food and beverage ERP systems are designed to help processors meet the unique challenges they face, especially in the areas of recipe management, quality, lot track-and-trace, document control, compliance and other key areas.
When considering an ERP project, Ultra’s team of independent ERP consultants makes the case to think beyond an ERP checklist and beyond the idea of a technology replacement. Instead, we guide teams to focus squarely on business process improvement.
Is it time to assess your organization’s ERP health?
It is if your processes involve manual workarounds, stand-alone or siloed solutions, cumbersome spreadsheets or duplicate data entry.
