According to KIC’s General Manager, Finance & Administration, Adrian Walschots, KIC has experienced double digit growth for close to four years. “This expansion has put considerable pressure on our existing ERP system, which was very basic and did not integrate all our core functions.”
After reviewing a comprehensive field of vendors, Movex was selected for its focus and strengths in the food & beverage industry which has been proven in many dairy related businesses worldwide.
“We were very impressed with Movex’s ability to handle food-related functions such as set and random weights, use by dates and quality testing, all of which are very important parameters to us”, he said.
KIC sought a new, integrated system for several strategic business reasons including the need to support its strategic objectives of customer focus and continuous growth and improvement. To support these aims the company needed a system that would introduce controls that save costs and increase revenue by better management of stock data and customer records and provide accurate, timely data to enable decision-making.
