Case Study: Hormel Foods unifies finance and HR with Oracle Cloud HCM

Hormel unifies finance and HR with Oracle Cloud Applications

Hormel Foods, a global food company with a portfolio of over 50 brands, faced a significant challenge with its outdated and fragmented IT systems. Its various legacy HCM and ERP applications, some over 15 years old, did not interface well, lacked a clear view of company performance, and had become a burden to competitiveness. To make a generational shift and leapfrog competitors, Hormel chose to modernize with Oracle Cloud Applications.

The solution implemented was a full suite of Oracle Cloud products, including Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM, ERP, Supply Chain Management (SCM), and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM). This provided a single, unified platform that served as one source of truth. Oracle's solution gave Hormel complete visibility into all business operations, streamlined the integration of acquisitions like the Planters brand, and enabled advanced analytics for forecasting and identifying cost-saving opportunities in procurement, yielding a significant competitive advantage.
