Rynkeby Foods Now Live with Lawson QuickStep Food & Beverage
Leading Danish manufacturer of fruit juices to use pre-configured industry-specific Lawson solution
EMEA, Feb. 17, 2011 – Lawson Software
announced today that Rynkeby Foods A/S in Denmark has gone live as the
first food & beverage customer in the Nordic region on Lawson
QuickStep Food & Beverage using the latest Lawson M3 10.1 release.
Lawson QuickStep Food & Beverage is an industry pre-configured
solution based on the latest version of the Lawson M3 Enterprise
Management System and developed through Lawson's deep knowledge of
business processes and challenges in the food and beverage industry.
This helps companies like Rynkeby reduce the time, cost and risks
associated with bringing their products to market.
Lawson M3 10.1, the latest version of the enterprise management system, was released in spring 2010 and includes specific features to help companies efficiently plan their supply chain resources, and comprehensive catch weight handling functionality specifically for food and beverage companies.
Rynkeby Foods is the leading Danish manufacturer of fruit juices and other fruit-based foodstuffs, including jam, wine products, ice tea, and stewed fruit. Founded in 1935, Rynkeby employs 250 people at the factory in Ringe, Denmark. Major export countries for Rynkeby are Sweden, Norway, Finland and Germany. Rynkeby Foods has grown steadily by buying and merging with other companies. Rynkeby Foods is 100% owned by the dairy concern Arla Foods. Since March 2002, Rynkeby Foods has partnered with the Swedish juice manufacturer JO Bolaget, and together the two companies are now the leading producers of fruit juice in all of Scandinavia.
Rynkeby Foods has used Lawson solutions since 1998 and the most recent implementation project includes the Lawson Demand Planner and Lawson Business Intelligence. After reviewing Lawson M3 10.1, Rynkeby was impressed by the benefits they could gain.
”Lawson presented the industry-specific features and numerous enhancements like enhanced package management functionality as well as a strengthened M3 Demand Planner and Lawson QuickStep Food & Beverage to us. We were convinced to get a solution that meets our industry-specific requirements and help avoid excess production or stock-outs. Now we have the right system in place to improve the availability and accuracy of our key company data and information, providing overall reporting abilities for our management team,” said Steen-Lund-Pedersen, IT manager at Rynkeby Foods.
”Lawson QuickStep Food and Beverage is designed around the specific needs of companies like Rynkeby like challenges from fast moving industry supply chains and short order-to-delivery cycles of perishable products and raw materials. As it comes with pre-configured processes and is based on best practices of the industry the solution is faster and more cost effective to implement,” said Einar Broch, vice president sales EMEA North consumer products, for Lawson.
