Case Study: California Custom Fruits and Flavors, Inc. achieves leaner operations and real-time inventory control with Deacom

California Custom Fruits and Flavors, Inc. - Customer Case Study

California Custom Fruits & Flavors (CCFF), a food-industry supplier of customized fruit and flavor ingredients, faced a tipping point when its highly customized legacy ERP could no longer support growth. CFO Jim Fragnoli found the system’s limitations and rising customization costs were constraining key needs—especially formula management, inventory tracking, and financial reporting—so the company began evaluating new ERP options.

CCFF selected Deacom for its single-source, configurable platform and industry-specific functionality (formula revision tracking, inventory control, MRP, reporting, etc.). Implemented in eight months, the new ERP centralized data in real time, enabled FIFO/FEFO and faster MRP runs (minutes vs. hours), improved warehouse and production visibility, and eliminated Saturday production while keeping up with demand.
