With a wide variety of order quantities and final package sizes, Krier’s production lines were bottlenecked by manual and unrelated software systems, impacting efficiency and limiting production. Aptean Food & Beverage ERP will support and streamline the company’s manufacturing process, addressing potential holdups through comprehensive warehouse management, production planning, QA testing and inventory management to help ensure Krier’s profitability and growth.

“We are thrilled to benefit from Aptean’s strong warehousing, inventory and production management systems,” said John Rassel, President, Krier Foods. “The immediate access to customized data and reporting provides us a new level of understanding about our manufacturing processes and overall business.”

“Aptean offers a food and beverage ERP solution that is tailored to meet our quality control, documentation and automation needs,” said Christopher Walsh, President, Prime Ingredients. “We look forward to optimizing our business processes to match the competitive and regulated nature of the marketplace.”

Offering Glenwood Snacks a Comprehensive Solution Tailored for the Meat Industry
As a third-generation family-run company in the meat snack industry, Glenwood Snacks sought an integrated industry-specific solution designed to help the company continue its growth, address the limited efficiency of manual and disparate software systems and enable them to make business decisions based on data. Seeking out improved processes necessary to bring innovative and high-quality products to market, Glenwood Snacks needed an adaptable and scalable ERP solution designed to meet its unique needs as a producer of meat sticks and jerky. Aptean will support Glenwood Snacks’ desire to track all business processes, while providing a sound tracking solution with forward and backward lot traceability to help the company meet compliance requirements and manage quality control for both USDA and SQF-2 certifications.
