FOODLOGIK Streamlines Operations for Panino
Executive summary
Established since 2006, Panino is an independently owned company that sources and delivers high quality bakery products and fresh sandwich fillings to Foodservice customers throughout Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and Dorset.
Challenges
Panino were using an outdated Opera solution with a bolt on module for distribution, called Roads. The solution was slow and could not grow with Panino’s business model. The slowness caused many inefficiencies within the admin team, making it very stressful to process incoming orders in time for early afternoon delivery deadlines. Limitations of the old solution also caused a lack of visibility on what stock to re-order leading to stock-outs and impacting service levels.
Denis Boitoult, Director at Panino, sums up the difficulties.
“As a business we were challenged by many shortcomings of the solutions we were using to manage the business. Inefficiencies with data entry and order processing, as well as stock visibility and despatch issues, to name a few. However, with the help of Foodlogik and the team there, we have overcome these. The office is much calmer and efficient as a result.”
Foodlogik - The Solution
When Panino decided to search the market for their new solution, they sought recommendations from both their customers & suppliers.
“Foodlogik was highly recommended by suppliers we work with who already used Foodlogik, the system is user friendly and easy to use, its more forgiving and intuitive compared to other solutions we have used”, said Denis Boitoult.
The Foodlogik specialist bakery management ERP solution was deployed for Panino in an incredibly short time, with only a few weeks of data import and set up, before going live.
Denis Boitoult continues, “Our goal was for a smooth transition from our old system to Foodlogik, this was achieved with some hard work by my accounts team, and the assistance of Bill and the Foodlogik team.”
Results, ROI & future plans
Many benefits across the business have been realised by Panino.
Panino are enjoying much better control and visibility of stock, orders, and margins.
The Order to Delivery process is much simpler and efficient, from telesales and order entry, through to managing delivery notes and invoicing.
The admin team is more productive, due to the timesaving efficiencies realised by using Foodlogik.
The benefit which has made the most impact on the business is the savings in time, and the elimination of double entering data.
Denis Boitoult, Director at Panino, has the last word…….
“Having a business management system that scales and adapts to our needs as our business grows is fantastic. We are very happy with Foodlogik, and the continued support and input from the Foodlogik team is invaluable. We are excited about expanding our Foodlogik solution further in the future, maybe incorporating the use of Foodlogik handheld tablets for our staff to further increase efficiencies and make the solution accessible from anywhere.”
