From The Hearth Goes Live with QAD Adaptive ERP and Trade Activity Management
03 June 2021 - 10:20PM
Business Wire
QAD Inc. (Nasdaq: QADA) (Nasdaq: QADB), a leading provider of
next-generation manufacturing and supply chain solutions in the
cloud, today announced that baked goods manufacturer From The
Hearth, LLC (FTH) has gone live with QAD Adaptive ERP. FTH also
implemented QAD Trade Activity Management.
From The Hearth is a family-owned business with operations in
Oak Creek, Wisconsin and Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. It offers
bread and bread products through the brand names Furlani, Joseph
Campione and Mercato Bakery as well as through private label, to
leading retailers and foodservice distributors across North
America.
From The Hearth has two divisions, Furlani Foods Corporation and
Joseph Campione LLC. Furlani Foods is a longtime QAD customer. FTH
saw strategic value to upgrade and move its existing on-premise QAD
environment to the cloud with QAD Adaptive ERP and to integrate its
entire business on that platform. Management wanted to standardize
business processes across both divisions while working within a
single version of the truth. It also wanted its ERP system to
provide dashboards and reports with real-time data and analytics
that management could use to make decisions. After a review, From
The Hearth decided to extend its QAD implementation across the
entire enterprise. By implementing QAD Adaptive ERP across its
business, From The Hearth aims to achieve a variety of benefits,
including:
- The ability to support company growth and changing demands from
both internal and external customers
- Increased financial capabilities to streamline its financial
operations
- A new, systematic approach to trade activity management which
was largely done manually, outside the system in the previous
environment
- Easy and consistent updates to the latest available
functionality
- The replacement of existing manual workarounds with industry
best practices
- The ability to maintain quality while controlling and reducing
operational costs
- Fewer software customizations
- Reduction of the need for third-party applications by
leveraging the QAD Enterprise Platform
“QAD is focused on helping fresh and frozen food companies
innovate and adapt their business models to remain industry leaders
and we are excited to work with From The Hearth,” said QAD Senior
Vice President, North America, Mike Brunnick. “The food and
beverage industry is experiencing challenging and exciting times
and manufacturers today need to be agile. From The Hearth is an
exciting company whose roots are rich in tradition. Now in
partnership with QAD, it is implementing systems and processes that
will help it to rapidly plan for and respond to opportunities and
market dynamics.”
FTH was supported in the project by its key implementation
partner QSTRAT.
