Case Study: Natures Way Foods achieves faster production planning and improved operational efficiency with Microsoft Dynamics 365

Dynamics AX increases operational efficiency at Natures Way

Natures Way Foods, a UK supplier of fresh produce to major supermarkets and convenience restaurants, faced a major operational challenge: factory scheduling and materials planning were painstaking and time-consuming, often taking most of the day and leaving no room for last-minute amendments, putting delivery schedules and product quality at risk.

Working with Columbus to implement Microsoft Dynamics AX, Natures Way reduced Materials Requirement Planning time to 36 minutes, gained real-time stock visibility and end-to-end traceability from grower to customer, and centralized data into a single management-information platform—helping maintain a 99.96% order accuracy rate, control costs, identify growth opportunities, and support its ambition to double the business.
