Oracle NetSuite Solution Provider

As the world becomes more and more connected,
upgrading your IT environment is no longer a means
to get ahead—it’s a requirement to keep pace.
Meat and seafood companies seeking to capitalize
on new global opportunities need to unify their
product development, supply chains, manufacturing
processes and distribution networks or risk failure
in today’s increasingly competitive markets.

Meat and seafood companies need an agile
tech environment to capitalize on new business
models. Today, food organizations are pursuing
new revenue streams, distribution networks and
methods of getting their products into their buyers’
hands, and need technology that can keep up.

How Do Mismanaged Business Processes Impact Success?

Leading meat and seafood organizations tell us
that unwieldy back-office processes and outdated
technology can create a number of issues that can
impact long-term success, including:

• High operational costs and inefficiencies –
  Time and money spent on manually managing
  business processes instead of on meeting
  customer needs.
• Manual information exchange – Disparate
  software applications (accounting, inventory
  management, warehouse management,
  ecommerce) that do not communicate in
  real time.
• Lack of visibility into key business metrics –
  No ability to report on profitability by
  customer or products due to multiple
  systems and spreadsheets.

With all of these issues, businesses waste valuable
time and resources. In today’s high stakes business
environment, companies need to focus more on
customer service and business strategy, and less
on operating manual processes.

At the core of these issues impacting long-term
success, we see a trend: meat and seafood
organizations relying on spreadsheets, aging
on-premises systems, multiple solutions or worse,
a combination of all three. With NetSuite’s unified
platform, companies can stop wasting time and
resources managing multiple data silos while
leveraging real-time visibility for insights into
their business.

Successful meat and seafood businesses recognize
that upgrading their back-office technology is
essential to capitalizing on new opportunities and
streamlining operations for new product development,
supplier management and data-driven business
decisions. Having this efficiency can be the
difference between thriving and barely surviving in
today’s fast-paced business environment.

management including:

  central point of visibility for inventory across all
  subsidiaries/companies around the world to
  help schedulers, planners and buyers make the
  right decisions, communicate effectively with
  customers and suppliers, and hold just the right
  amount of inventory.
• Inbound shipment management, which enables
  a business ordering large quantities of product
  from multiple suppliers to consolidate multiple
  purchase orders into a single container to simplify
  future tracking and status updates.
