In a significant move towards digital transformation, Nutreco, a global leader in nutritional solutions and services for the aquaculture and animal nutrition industry, has collaborated with Infor to deploy Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage. This deployment is poised to revolutionize Nutreco’s operations, offering enhanced scalability, streamlined processes, and cutting-edge technology integration.
Nutreco has operations spanning over 100 production plants across 37 countries and a workforce of 3,600 users.
Nutreco required a powerful cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform that could effectively manage critical information and harmonize business processes. The chosen solution, Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage, utilizes the robust capabilities of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is hosted on Infor’s public cloud services, reflecting the platform’s scalability and multi-tenant industry cloud capabilities.
Named “Unite,” the Infor platform integrates seamlessly with Nutreco’s third-party systems, facilitating standardization across the organization and enabling the creation of comprehensive, worldwide aggregated reports. These reports offer valuable insights for integrated business planning cycles, optimizing stock levels, and ensuring timely deliveries.
Erik Beckers, CIO of Nutreco, emphasized the collaborative and innovative nature of the partnership with Infor. “Infor’s willingness to collaborate and develop solutions to meet the specific requirements of our needs and translate these in the solution, its responsiveness to any issues or development needs sets it apart as a solid, innovative, and trustworthy partner,” Beckers stated.
The platform’s capabilities extend beyond operational efficiency. Sustainability, a core pillar of Nutreco’s strategy, is seamlessly integrated into Unite. Relevant sustainability data points are organized within the system, enabling the generation of transparent and automated sustainability reports. This integration aligns with Nutreco’s commitment to sustainable practices and transparent reporting.
Hein Kivits, Infor’s country manager and senior sales director for Benelux, highlighted the depth of the partnership. “Nutreco and Infor have been partners for several years. This is a partnership where we not only focus on mutual business value but also on co-development and the adoption of our new technologies within the Nutreco organization,” Kivits explained.
The deployment of Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage represents Nutreco’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. By harnessing the capabilities of this advanced platform, Nutreco is poised to navigate the evolving landscape of the aquaculture and animal nutrition industry while delivering value to its customers and stakeholders.
