Case Study: Joseph Gallo Farms achieves modernized ERP and significant operational efficiencies with Aptean

Collaboration leads to improvements beyond software for Joseph Gallo Farms

Joseph Gallo Farms, a third‑generation, award‑winning cheese maker and one of the largest dairy operations in the world, was running a highly customized but now outdated version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV that was no longer supported and lacked modern capabilities. Facing lagging technology and an unsatisfactory services relationship, the company looked for a food‑industry‑savvy partner to modernize its ERP without disrupting familiar workflows.

Partnering with Aptean, Joseph Gallo Farms implemented Aptean Food & Beverage ERP bcFood Edition through a collaborative rollout that kept NAV familiarity while adding food‑specific features—license plating, catch‑weighting, mobile barcode scanning—along with Power BI reporting and EDI. The result was real‑time inventory visibility, fewer data errors, faster order processing and broad efficiency gains across operations, plus ongoing process improvements and a commitment to stay current with ERP upgrades.
