Case Study: Kettle Produce Ltd. achieves real-time traceability and paperless operations with Epicor Tropos (Epicor)

Kettle Produce Ltd. - Customer Case Study

Kettle Produce Ltd., a Fife-based specialist and one of Britain’s largest suppliers of fresh and prepared vegetable packs to major supermarkets, faced rapidly growing complexity as it moved from raw produce to value‑added manufacturing. The company needed to meet demanding retail supply‑chain requirements by streamlining processes, creating a single source of information, improving stock control and delivery traceability, and responding quickly to business change.

Kettle implemented the Epicor Tropos ERP suite with RF handhelds, web portals for subcontractors and a phased rollout across sales, distribution and manufacturing. The solution delivered real‑time order traceability, faster, consistent management reporting, tighter stock control and proof of delivery, improved collaboration with third‑party suppliers and a move toward a paperless factory—enabling better customer service, reduced stock losses and scalable infrastructure for growth.
