Case Study: New Bloomer Candy Company gains lot traceability and real-time visibility with Epicor Tropos ERP

New Bloomer Candy Company - Customer Case Study

New Bloomer Candy Company, a Zanesville, Ohio–based chocolate manufacturer and distributor, needed to replace a 20-year-old legacy “bookkeeping” system with an ERP designed for food and process manufacturing. The company required recipe-based production, bills of materials, lot traceability, inventory and integrated financials — all out-of-the-box and without customized bolt-ons — to protect family recipes and improve overall operations.

They implemented Epicor Tropos, gaining recipe management, shop-floor data collection, mobile barcode scanning, forecasting and scheduling, and end-to-end lot traceability. The solution improved purchasing and job costing, delivered real-time, top-to-shop-floor visibility for 20 users, strengthened regulatory compliance and recall readiness, and recovered more than half of the investment while empowering staff and boosting operational efficiency.
