Case Study: Otis McAllister achieves rapid EDI onboarding and streamlined supply-chain operations with Aptean Food & Beverage ERP bcFood Edition

Otis McAllister - Customer Case Study

Otis McAllister, a global food distributor founded in 1892 that sells into more than 65 countries and supplies major grocery retailers, needed a more reliable, easy-to-use ERP and the ability to meet strict EDI requirements from customers without disrupting operations. To modernize its Microsoft Dynamics NAV environment and address EDI demands, Otis McAllister engaged Beck Consulting, which also introduced complementary solutions such as SPSCommerce.net and its own bcEDI adapter.

Beck Consulting adjusted and stabilized Microsoft Dynamics NAV, deployed the bcEDI adapter and integrated SPSCommerce.net to provide single-XML mappings and automated EDI flows. The integrated solution allowed Otis McAllister to bring trading partners online faster, be operational in two weeks, reduce EDI management overhead, enable suppliers to send ASNs directly to retailers, lower costs and improve customer service—helping the company scale into new sales channels.
