How Oracle NetSuite enhanced business efficiency of food and beverage cos

Oracle NetSuite for CIOs
Cloud ERP company Oracle NetSuite said three food and beverage manufacturers have implemented the NetSuite SuiteSuccess Manufacturing edition.

Aspire Food Group, Dyla and PUR are the latest food and beverage manufacturers customers of Oracle NetSuite.

NetSuite SuiteSuccess for Manufacturing delivers a set of processes, activities and systems specifically designed to deliver value. It provides customers with a foundation to transform their business with a pre-configured solution and methodology.

Aspire Food Group, which raises crickets for uses including high protein snacks and food additives, has a palm weevil facility in Ghana and a cricket-raising facility in Austin, Texas. Aspire discovered that its existing financial management system based on QuickBooks and Excel spreadsheets would not keep up with its growth.

It selected NetSuite and deployed SuiteSuccess for Manufacturing to run financials, CRM and inventory management.

The company is efficiently processing payments, tracking customers and invoices and it has substantially improved its budgeting process. Reports that used to take six hours to create are now done in under an hour.

Aspire has plans to implement additional manufacturing functionality to better track the costs associated with the manufacturing process and livestock processes in a second phase.

West New York, NJ-based Dyla, a maker of Forto coffee and Stur water flavor enhancers,

has experienced that running two separate businesses on QuickBooks wasn’t sustainable. Dyla’s operations team spent half its time in spreadsheets synchronizing inventory, order and customer information, even manually entering EDI transactions.

Dyla has selected NetSuite over SAP and Microsoft Dynamics, and deployed SuiteSuccess in 90 days to manage contract manufacturers, a distribution hub and 117 SKUs across the two brands and tens of thousands of locations. With NetSuite, Dyla has streamlined its month-end close from five days to three hours and automated communication with 3PL providers.

PUR, a manufacturer of aspartame-free gum, replaced its existing QuickBooks and Excel-based processes. After evaluating SAP, The PUR Company selected NetSuite and implemented it in 100 days with SuiteSuccess.

The PUR Company has complete traceability across products in its Toronto warehouse while the unified ERP and CRM gives insights into customer service and sales strategy. OneWorld lets PUR transact in Canadian and US dollars and Swiss franc.

NetSuite can continue to scale as the company grows while NetSuite’s unified platform combines financial, inventory and customer data – vital for a company heavily focused on customer loyalty.
