Case Study: Almondina achieves food safety & quality accreditation and lands Costco with Aptean Food & Beverage ERP JustFood Edition

Almondina® Cookies becomes food safety and quality accredited

Almondina, a producer of all‑natural toasted almond biscuits, was rapidly outgrowing its Microsoft Great Plains system and needed a food‑industry ERP to streamline complex baking and manufacturing processes while meeting an impending third‑party GMP food safety and quality audit. The company selected Aptean Food & Beverage ERP JustFood Edition (JustFoodERP) over competitors like Syspro because of its Microsoft Dynamics‑style interface, usability and industry focus.

Aptean Food & Beverage ERP JustFood Edition was implemented (going live in July 2013) with training and strong vendor support, delivering lot traceability, recall functionality, routing, costing and reporting. As a result, Almondina achieved food safety and quality accreditation, completed a mock recall in 30 minutes (instead of days), cut significant warehouse hours through lot traceability, gained Costco as a retailer, and now uses JustFoodERP’s costing and profitability reports to better manage SKUs and customers.
