Food Logistics Magazine Reported Survey Results Top Priorities for Food Manufacturers
Westminster, CO, October 29, 2014 --(PR.com)-- TraceGains, a leader in supplier document management in the food industry, was featured in Food Logistics magazine. The article, authored by manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, was titled, “The Survey Says: Leveraging Existing Technology Investments a Top Priority for Food Manufacturers.”
According to Cutler, “Unlike new food companies or those looking to replace long-standing legacy systems, respondents to this survey are seeking solutions that will augment, interface, and cull data from a myriad of sources, from file cabinet folders to ERP systems’ data. A key finding of the survey was some companies were unlikely to change or replace ERP solution in the next three years. Less than 10% of the survey respondents (8%) suggested that their food company would likely change the ERP solution within the next three years. That said, 68% surveyed complained current technology was insufficient to address the needs of audit processes and ever-changing regulatory enforcement. The preponderance of dissatisfaction was amplified when more than half these food leaders (55%) noted they had expected the ERP solution would be sufficient to address these needs.”
Justifying expanding technology solutions require integration of ERP data was a key finding. From the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), with elements still being finalized three years following the enactment of the law, to BRC to ISO2200, these food manufacturing firms identified that exponentially expanding SKUs, thinner margins, and supply chain complexities, were among the named factors driving the need for new technology solutions.
