Case Study: Madrona Specialty Foods achieves streamlined operations and increased visibility with Aptean Food & Beverage ERP JustFood Edition

Madrona Specialty Foods Streamlines Processes and Increases Visibility with JustFood ERP

Madrona Specialty Foods, a Seattle-based producer of artisanal crackers and cookies, was running its business on multiple independent platforms before going live on Aptean Food & Beverage ERP JustFood Edition in 2017. The disconnected finance, manufacturing, warehouse and sales systems forced manual reconciliation, lacked food-specific functionality like lot coding and expiration tracking, and prevented the end-to-end visibility needed to support growth.

Madrona implemented Aptean Food & Beverage ERP JustFood Edition across finance, quality, warehouse, sales and manufacturing (including JustFood Plant MES and JustFood Floor WMS), going live in six months with minimal disruption. The integrated JustFood ERP provided real-time inventory receipts, automated lot-code and FEFO expiration management, mobile production scheduling, improved consumption accuracy and far fewer data-entry errors—consolidating reporting so finance can track costs and KPIs and enabling faster, better decisions and streamlined operations.
