Case Study: Bruce Foods achieves same-day go-live at four facilities with Aptean Food & Beverage ERP JustFood Edition

Bruce Foods goes live at four facilities in the same day

Bruce Foods, a US-based food manufacturer with four processing plants and over 1,200 employees, faced fractured operations running heavily customized JBA ERP and RedPrairie WMS systems that couldn’t integrate or be easily upgraded. Seeking an all‑in‑one ERP/WMS, Bruce Foods selected JustFood for its food‑industry functionality and ease of use, aiming for a simultaneous rollout across all four sites.

JustFood implemented its ERP/WMS solution (including WMS through EDI), enabling a same‑day go‑live at all four facilities and replacing the outdated pallet management system. The JustFood deployment unlocked advanced ASN/EDI mapping and customer compliance labeling, moved reporting from IT to accounting with customized analytics, and supported business growth — the rollout was so successful Bruce Foods’ IT team won the company’s President’s Award.
