Ambassador Foods (Pty) Ltd chose SIS Holdings, a Microsoft Gold Certified partner, to implement Microsoft Dynamics NAV, as a scalable, user-friendly, affordable enterprise resource planning system (ERP) to meet its specific needs.
The successful implementation delivered impressive results, with SIS Holdings delivering on time and within budget.
Along with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Ambassador Foods has extended the solution by utilising the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Warehouse Management module.
By employing this module, Ambassador Foods will be able to increase current customer service levels, reduce warehouse costs, optimise the warehouse layout and manage inventory to ensure data integrity.
Ambassador Foods is now able to bar-code its products from the manufacturing plant, ensuring the right product goes to the right place at the right time. Not only will the bar-coded products serve the warehouse management system, but also the point of sale solution, added in the implementation by SIS Holdings. The point of sale solution will ensure product distribution from on-site stores is managed optimally preventing losses and managing store inventory.
Daniel Jacobs, MD of Ambassador Foods, says: "The immediate return we got was improved stock control within our organisation, easier access to information and improved user access controls. In the long term we anticipate greater business intelligence and reporting capabilities."
Added to this, Jacobs states: "The approach to the project by SIS was enthusiastic, friendly and patient; we have already seen the advantages of implementing Microsoft Dynamics NAV, and looking forward, we expect to be fully functional and independent owners of our new system."
The hardware was supplied by PSION Teklogix, a SIS partner.
Ambassador Foods manufactures a variety of health snack products, such as dried fruits and nuts, which is distributed globally to a number of countries, including the United States and United Kingdom, as well as locally through a national retail chain.
Due to its impressive growth and introduction of numerous other lines to the existing range of products, Ambassador Foods eventually expanded into the large-scale factory currently based in White River, which manufactures health snack products.
