Case Study: Bongards Creameries achieves major time savings and streamlined, error-free operations with Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP

Bongards Creameries Unlocks Greater Efficiency and Process Improvements with Aptean ERP and Smart Hub

Bongards Creameries, a 300‑farmer co‑op and long‑time Aptean Process Manufacturing ERP client, struggled with manual, error‑prone processes, multiple disconnected systems and limited visibility that made it hard to spot issues before they occurred. To solve this, Bongards implemented Aptean Smart Hub to connect applications, automate workflows and deliver proactive alerts across the organization.

With Aptean Smart Hub, Bongards automated AR invoicing, ERP–TMS data flows, price adjustments and many other tasks, saving roughly 23 hours of accounts‑receivable work in three months (more than two‑and‑a‑half weeks of one person’s time), eliminating typing errors on dispatch numbers and speeding distribution and customer service. Aptean’s integrations and alerting also reduced manual re‑entry, improved visibility for credit and EDI issues, and freed staff to focus on exceptions and continual improvement.
