Van Geloven: An End-to-End Solution

To achieve best practice S&OP, Van Geloven implement sofco's Demand Planning, Supply Planning, Scheduling and S&OP solutions.

The largest food manufacturer in the Netherlands, Van Geloven, supplies a full range of frozen convenience snacks and foods across a diverse brand family including the iconic Mora brand. The company has around 800 employees across multiple sites in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Why sofco?

Van Geloven chose sofco as we presented the strongest in three critical areas: functionality, people, and budget.

"Specific food industry functionality has to be a given, as do budgetary constraints, but people can make or break a project. What impressed us most about the sofco people was they understood our business, listened, and would bring a lot of experience to the project."

The Challenge

Prior to implementing the sofco solution, Van Geloven's supply planning and detailed scheduling was done entirely manually and therefore only 5-8 weeks ahead, which resulted in limited long-term capacity planning.

The Solution

Van Geloven implemented sofco's Demand Planning, Supply Planning and Scheduling solution. The sofco solution covers and joins up the whole Supply Chain from long term grouped level forecasts down to production schedules by SKU, by line, by hour and by minute.

Results

- One Process, One Integrated System for Demand & Supply - End-To-End Visibility - More Focus and Quality Time While Executing the Processes
