It has helped us to achieve a 54 per cent rise in profits and a 15 per cent drop in product wastage.”

Graham Jackson, chairman of KK Fine Foods comments: “The ERP solution underpins our entire organisation from finance and sales order processing to production and distribution. We’ve been able to minimise errors in production and streamline production planning as well as achieve more effective management of our cold storage facility. The system also helps us address key requirements that are highly important to our customers, such as strict adherence to quality standards, end-to-end traceability to support brand assurance and sophisticated scheduling to ensure that we fulfill customer orders on time. As an added bonus, the expert Ross consultants have been with us every step of the way, ensuring that we were using the Ross ERP system to its full potential.”

Mark Carlile, UK managing director, CDC Software, comments: “We are extremely pleased that we could play such a pivotal role in helping KK Fine Foods to achieve such a dramatic change in its business performance over the past couple of years. The fact that KK Fine Food has been highly commended at these awards is testament to the hard work put in by the staff at KK Fine Foods and here at CDC Software. The Ross ERP solution from CDC Software has helped KK Fine Foods to support standards compliance and to unlock the cost savings and efficiencies necessary to maintain competitiveness and protect profit margins as they continue to grow.”

KK Fine Foods produces over 250 different recipes of frozen meals and 193 live recipes every month for its customers across the UK and Europe including Mitchell’s & Butlers, Weatherspoons, Brakes Brothers, 3663, Woodward, Green King, P&O, Marriott and Whitbread. Based in North Wales, KK Fine Foods was awarded the Welsh Medium Sized Business of the Year Award in 2004 and has recently been awarded funding from the Welsh Assembly in recognition of its business success and to extend and double the capacity of its existing operation.

Implemented in 2003, the Ross system has given KK Fine Foods a fully integrated and real-time management information tool that allows it to optimise throughput, streamline the business and monitor product profitability in a way that it could not do before. The system also generates an executive level view of the entire business operation and manufacturing processes to give managers a single view of the business, enabling them to make decisions with confidence knowing they are based on current and accurate information.

As well as live management reports, the system also provides real-time stock status reports, supplying information by product, customer, ingredient, location and history, to give end-to-end online visibility of its products. This has helped KK Fine Foods achieve Grade A Food Safety Traceability Accreditation from the Food Standards Agency. It can now identify the availability of raw materials, monitor stock shelf life and react to any sudden change in customer demand dynamically.
