Case Study: Emerald Foods achieves faster product formulation and fewer errors with Lascom PLM

Emerald foods shares its plm success

Emerald Foods, a leader in New Zealand’s ice‑cream market, was struggling with fragmented product development: R&D working in spreadsheets and separate documents, specifications entered manually, and no ERP integration—creating inefficiencies and compliance risk. To solve this, Emerald Foods engaged Lascom and its PLM solution to modernize and centralize their product development processes.

Lascom implemented a specification management module, integrated formulation and labeling tools (nutritional analysis, recipe management and label creation) and built an ERP interface, enabling faster, more accurate decision‑making. The Lascom PLM delivered measurable results—70% faster new product formulation, 60% faster information flow, 20% faster document research/access/sharing and a 30% reduction in specification and labeling errors—and Emerald Foods plans to upgrade to Lascom Lime to add analysis and non‑conformity management.
