The Challenge
Diversified Foods and Seasonings had been using Sage PFW for many years to manage formulas, costs, and inventory within their ERP solution. However, when Sage announced their plans to retire PFW, Diversified began to review replacement ERP solutions. They evaluated nearly 15 ERP systems during their review period and selected BatchMaster Mfg. because it could fill every need they had. They were looking for a solution that was designed for formula-based food manufacturing companies and had specific functions such as Quality Control and Assurance, a Formula Approval process, and MRP/MPS integrated functionality.
About The Customer
Diversified Foods and Seasonings, LLC is a company that began nearly 40 years ago in Louisiana. They started by preparing a patented chicken seasoning mix for one small restaurant, which would grow into Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen and become a nationwide and worldwide success. Diversified Foods and Seasonings continues to manufacture and supply seasonings to Popeyes restaurants and has added other products and contract services for its clients. The company operates three manufacturing plants located in Louisiana, Nebraska, and Alabama, and operates 24/7 to meet their product demand. In addition to manufacturing seasonings for Popeyes and its own Chefs Creations label, the company offers product development and production services to customers for a variety of food establishments including casual dining, retail, club stores, quick service and more.
The Solution
Diversified Foods and Seasonings selected BatchMaster Mfg. as their new ERP solution. The transition to the new system was smooth due to similar main functions and the staff started seeing new benefits with BatchMaster Mfg. right away. The system provided quality control tests and results fully integrated with production formulas and with lot tracked inventory items. It also provided a Formula Approval process that assures that only approved formulas are used in production. In addition, BatchMaster Mfg. offered MRP/MPS integrated functionality, which Diversified started implementing and saw how using MRP reporting along with integrated order scheduling can drastically reduce various manual processes.
