Case Study: Bennett Opie achieves streamlined production and accurate stock control with EFACS from Exel Computer Systems plc

Bennett Opie - Customer Case Study

Bennett Opie, a long-established family-owned UK manufacturer of pickles and preserves with around 400 SKUs and a £12m turnover, faced fragmented IT and paper-based systems that undermined forecast accuracy, stock control and production planning — creating risks of wrong runs, waste and line downtime. To replace disconnected systems and improve control, Bennett Opie selected EFACS from Exel Computer Systems plc as its integrated ERP solution.

Exel Computer Systems plc implemented EFACS with phased training, on-site consultancy and a big‑bang go‑live, aligning recipes, sales, stock and MRP on a single database. The result was a dramatic reduction in errors and data duplication, far greater confidence in MRP-led decisions, improved traceability (forward and backward in minutes), higher right‑first‑time rates, lower inventory and stronger customer service — delivering measurable improvements in stock accuracy and production efficiency.
