Business Wire
Lawson Software (Nasdaq: LWSN) today announced that food
manufacturer Golden Flake Snack Foods Inc., has selected Lawson
QuickStep Food & Beverage, an industry pre-configured solution
based on the latest version of the Lawson M3 Enterprise Management
System. The solution was built on Lawson’s deep knowledge of
business processes and challenges in the food and beverage
industry. It is designed to help meet a variety of demands, from
fast moving industry supply chains and short order-to-delivery
cycles to the handling of perishable products and raw materials.
This helps companies like Golden Flake Snack Foods reduce the time,
cost and risks associated with bringing products to market. The
contract was signed during the third quarter of Lawson’s 2011
fiscal year, which ended Feb. 28, 2011.
As part of this enterprise software deployment, Golden Flake
Snack Foods also licensed select Lawson Human Resource Management
applications, including Absence Management and Payroll. These
applications will help the company better track and manage employee
time off and help streamline payroll operations, including
quarterly filings and reporting. Lawson Professional Services will
assist with the implementation.
Golden Flake Snack Foods, based in Birmingham, Ala., is a snack
food manufacturer and distributor with approximately 850 employees
and distribution to twelve states in the southern United States.
Due to Golden Flake Snack Foods’ rapid growth over the past several
years, the company needed to update its outdated, disparate
business applications with a centralized solution to help meet the
challenges of its growing business.
“Our old system was inefficient and required a lot of manual
data entry, duplicate keying and detailed lookups, when many of
these processes should be either eliminated or automated,” said
Patty Townsend, vice president and CFO of Golden Flake Snack Foods.
“Our business has grown substantially, and in turn, so has the
volume of our data. The Lawson system will help provide us with the
flexibility and features necessary to adapt to the changing needs
of our business. Ultimately, this will help us continue to provide
excellent customer service.”
“Lawson QuickStep Food & Beverage is designed to address the
complex challenges food and beverage companies face, from material
and capacity planning to production and distribution,” said
Frederic Champalbert, general manager of Food & Beverage for
Lawson. “By connecting core business processes in the enterprise,
Lawson is able to help companies like Golden Flake achieve greater
visibility into their business. In the end, it’s about helping them
increase operational efficiency, enhance customer service and
improve their bottom lines.”
