Case Study: The Adams Group, Inc. achieves modern, unified operations and trustworthy data with Aptean Food & Beverage ERP bcFood Edition

Adams Group takes advantage of newer technologies by migrating to a state-of-the-art platform

Adams Group, a fourth-generation food and beverage company, was struggling with a patchwork, in-house system that couldn’t keep up with growth and left key activities disconnected. After evaluating 20 vendors, Adams selected Aptean and its Aptean Food & Beverage ERP (bcFood Edition) built on Microsoft Dynamics NAV to deliver a modern, industry-specific ERP that fit their size and needs.

Aptean implemented the unified bcFood/NAV solution, providing project management, training, a nationally certified scale interface, and industry-specific features like lot tracking, order and production control. The result: Adams consolidated multiple systems onto one platform, gained more trustworthy, near‑real‑time data (field staff now use iPads to access grower loads and quality), moved from month‑end reporting delays (previously up to ~15–45 days) to weekly production reviews and faster financials, and reduced support costs as staff became self-sufficient under Aptean’s guidance.
