The Challenge
Mondoux Distributions, a company in the manufacturing, repackaging, and distribution of treats and sweets, has seen significant expansion since the 1980s. Its activities are spreading across Ontario and the eastern provinces. However, Mondoux's old computer system was unable to provide the required information to make optimal decisions during their continuous growth. This system was limiting their activities and presented corrupted data issues. The company needed a solution that could handle their expanding operations and provide accurate, real-time data for decision-making.
About The Customer
Les Distributions Mondoux Inc. is a company that specializes in the manufacturing, repackaging, and distribution of treats and sweets. The company has been in business since 1967 and has seen significant growth since the 1980s, with its activities spreading across Ontario and the eastern provinces. Mondoux Distributions generates a revenue of 50 million dollars and employs 110 people. The company is located in Laval, Canada. Despite its success, the company faced challenges with its old computer system, which was unable to provide the required information for optimal decision-making and presented issues with corrupted data.
The Solution
To address the challenges faced by Mondoux Distributions, the company implemented the Fidelio system. Fidelio is a flexible, intuitive, and completely integrated system with powerful drill-down capacities. It was chosen for its functional diversity, which was evaluated by Mondoux's end-users, and its capacity to interface with Omniciel. The implementation of Fidelio was marked by the sustained involvement of Commsoft employees, who provided knowledge and challenged business processes. The Fidelio modules used by Mondoux include finance, sales, e-commerce, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, and a Route Manager interface.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
