A Aptean Case Study
Enrico Food, a Netherlands‑based manufacturer of Mediterranean specialties, mayonnaise, dressings and other grocery products, had grown into an international business through multiple acquisitions but struggled with limited process visibility and management information. Operations were fragmented across spreadsheets and an aging, heavily customized Microsoft Dynamics AX system, making it hard to access reliable order, inventory and financial data needed to support further growth.
Enrico implemented Aptean Food & Beverage ERP (Foodware Edition) on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as a standard, cloud‑hosted solution without heavy customization. The ERP connected inventory, production, finance and logistics, made integration of acquired brands straightforward, and now supports over 800 products and a turnover that rose from ~€23M in 2016 to over €50M in 2021. The new platform reduced IT burden, enabled a scalable cloud setup, improved decision‑making and set the business up for further data-driven enhancements such as Power BI.
