Case Study: KLN Family Brands achieves better forecasting and growth with IFS assyst

KLN Family Brands works with IFS to improve forecasting and drive growth

KLN Family Brands, a Minnesota-based manufacturer of human and pet food products, was facing surging demand and rapid growth that strained its supply chain, staffing, and forecasting processes. To support its goal of becoming a billion-dollar company, KLN partnered with IFS assyst to replace an outdated ERP system with stronger forecasting and MRP capabilities.

IFS assyst implemented an ERP solution across KLN’s three facilities, giving the company better visibility into resourcing, production planning, inventory, and compliance. The results included a 25% reduction in finished goods inventory, a $2 million cut in materials inventory within six months, less spending on maintenance and software, and improved compliance, reporting, and customer information access.
