Case Study: Van Vliet achieves a rapid 1.5‑month ERP upgrade and DHL integration with Aptean Food & Beverage ERP

Short lead time for upgrading Van Vliet's ERP system

Van Vliet is a family-owned confectionery company selling brands like Meenk and Kindly’s across Western Europe. Faced with an outdated ERP and very specific customer requirements — and after already upgrading its production sites — Van Vliet needed a fast, reliable upgrade of its headquarters system to bring the entire business onto a single modern platform.

Working with Aptean, Van Vliet completed a full-scope reimplementation in just 1.5 months, covering purchasing, sales, logistics, production, finance, EDI, product specs and a new DHL integration. The outcome: all branches now run the latest Aptean Food & Beverage ERP with improved functionality, automated DHL shipping and smoother operations — achieved through close collaboration between the two teams.
