Case Study: Jackson’s Bakery scales up with Columbus and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management

how we helped Jackson's modernise its core processes in the face of unprecedented circumstances

Jackson's Bakery, the UK's leading supplier of sandwich bread, faced a challenge when a new major retail deal required a 30% increase in production. Their legacy IT systems were unable to handle this growth, necessitating a complete business transformation. They partnered with vendor Columbus to implement a new technology backbone.

Columbus implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management to modernize core processes from order to invoice. Despite pandemic challenges and a strict deadline, the project was delivered on time and on budget. The new system provided the stability needed to launch the new business, secure a multi-year deal, and gain efficiencies that support a net-zero emissions target.
