After an extensive search and evaluation of competitive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software by Boar's Head Provisions, the Brooklyn, NY-based provider of premium branded meats, cheeses, condiments, and other deli products selected the Ross Systems Inc. (Atlanta) iRenaissance Enterprise Solution.

Boar's Head Provisions' primary objective was to find a solution that could best address its specific requirements as well as meat processing industry requirements. As a result, Ross Systems will provide the company with manufacturing, financial, distribution, maintenance management, human resource, supply chain, and e-business solutions.

"We have carefully selected Ross and their iRenaissance and Resynt products based on a range of critical factors," says David Bowes, Boar's Head Provisions CIO. "We feel the Ross solution will generate the greatest impact in the areas of brand protection in our growing business through support of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) quality initiatives, distributor support systems, and improved business intelligence."

According to Bowes, no other software supplier met our rigorous requirements in process manufacturing areas such as catchweight, costing, manufacturing, and the flexibility to create a complete end to end solution.

"Ross' broad experience within the food & beverage industry and specifically with meat processing, was key. The Ross team clearly understood our requirements and have demonstrated a commitment to a long term partnership," he adds.

"This re-affirms our leadership position in the food & beverage space and adds to our list of over one hundred food & beverage companies already using our solutions," says Pat Tinley, CEO of Ross Systems.

The project implementation will begin later this year with initial functionality going live later next year.
