Case Study: Vanns Spices achieves enhanced efficiency and tighter controls with SYSPRO ERP Software

SYSPRO Helps Vanns Spices Enhance Efficiency and Tighten Controls

Vanns Spices, a family‑owned Baltimore spice manufacturer and private‑label blender producing over 2,000 blends and many packaging variations, was hampered by outdated WINMAN software, large inventory variances and no reliable lot‑tracking or integration between manufacturing and customer service. To meet supermarket lot‑tracking requirements and better manage custom‑shop manufacturing, Vanns Spices implemented SYSPRO ERP Software, deploying modules such as Lot Traceability, Inventory, MRP, CRM, Financials and advanced reporting.

Using SYSPRO ERP Software, Vanns gained end‑to‑end lot traceability (able to trace each spice into specific blends, bottles and customer shipments), stringent inventory controls and integrated manufacturing‑to‑CRM workflows. The system produced optimized inventory levels with fewer stockouts, accurate product costing and profitability reports, smarter purchasing decisions and real‑time cash‑flow visibility — results the company ties to reduced inventory variances, improved manufacturing efficiency and increased sales with fewer employees.
