Case Study: TruFood Manufacturing (TruFoodMfg) achieves 32 hours/month savings and a 30% reduction in warehouse staff with Deacom

How this food manufacturer saved 32 hours a month by performing reliable cycle counts only once per week

TruFood Manufacturing, a 30+-year contract maker of nutrition and snack bars, faced operational strain after acquiring Simply Natural Foods: the two businesses ran separate ERPs, leaving limited inventory visibility, reliance on hardcopy paperwork, wasted materials, unpredictable stockouts, and production delays.

By standardizing both sites on Deacom ERP (completed in four months), TruFood gained track-and-trace visibility and streamlined processes, allowing cycle counts to move to once per week—saving 32 hours per month—and reducing warehouse headcount from 10 to 7 (about 30%). The centralized system prevented stockouts, improved materials planning, increased production without adding staff, and will be deployed to future acquisitions.
