INVESTING IN ERP: Food manufacturer optimizes business processes with ERP software

摘要

When you're selling to the national chain of Boston Pizza restaurants, the reputation of your food products has to be solid. It also has to meet the franchising requirements for consistent quality, taste and look of food items sold across all locations. As one of Boston Pizza's suppliers, Edmonton, Alta.-based Kitchen Partners Limited (KPL) meets the grade with its products that include frozen entrees, fresh and frozen soups and sauces, dips and dressings, cooked ground beef crumble for toppings on pizzas and taco salads, and made-to-order food based on customer recipes or the development of new ones. All of its products are private labelled, about 40 per cent frozen, and sold to major retailers - such as Sobeys and Costco - across Canada, as well as the Boston Pizza chain of restaurants.
