Greencore reduces inventory costs after implementing sofco Planning
Food Manufacturer Greencore reduces inventory costs after implementing sofco Demand, Supply Planning and Scheduling.
Greencore, a leading manufacturer of convenience foods in the UK, has managed to streamline the production of ready meals, sandwiches, salads, and sushi for many of the nation's major supermarkets, following the implementation of sofco's Demand Planning, Supply Planning and Scheduling solutions.
The £1.7 billion food production company employs over 14,000 people and manufactures 2,000 products in over 35 sites throughout the UK.
Greencore chose sofco because the software was deemed easy-to-use, functionally rich and provided an end to end view of the supply chain.
"We selected sofco as they have an End-to-End planning and execution system that can be configured easily to fulfill these disparate demands."
The sofco solution supports Greencore in the demand planning process and generation of high quality forecasts. Improved forecasting and planning has led to a significant increase in forecast accuracy and therefore marked reduction in inventory and waste.
"Our approach is much more sophisticated and collaborative now."
