Infor's CloudSuite Food & Beverage will be rolled out enterprise-wide

AMSTERDAM, July 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Infor^®, the industry cloud company, today announced that HAK, a Dutch producer of vegetables and legumes, is starting to implement Infor's CloudSuite Food & Beverage to make its business processes more efficient.

The implementation of Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage fits HAK's growth goals. With more efficient business processes, the company will be better able to respond to changing situations in the market. HAK stands for sustainability; the company strives to become 100 percent organic for all its local vegetables and legumes, while keeping it affordable for consumers. This requires greater efficiency throughout the production chain. Also in terms of traceability, or as HAK calls it, "from soil to mouth," the new ERP-solution offers the ability to manage this even better. All in all, the CloudSuite Food & Beverage solution contributes to HAK's growth strategy.

Organization-wide implementation
The main goal of deploying Infor's industry-specific CloudSuite is to increase efficiency in supply chain planning and warehouse management. A lot is still done manually there. The entire organization is involved in the implementation. The operational flows are the most important, but every discipline will eventually start working with the system.

Prepared for the future, innovation and growth
Developments in the food industry are occurring at an increasingly rapid pace. To be well prepared for the future and to meet its growth objectives, HAK chose Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage, a solution developed specifically for food producers and available as an always up-to-date cloud service that is constantly updated with new features and innovations. This allows HAK to accelerate the company's development and innovation.

Perfect match
"Infor's approach fits in well with the way in which HAK operates," says Maikel Jongenelis, CFO at HAK. "More than 85 percent of our processes that we want to address are included as standard processes in the Infor solution, especially in the areas of supply chain planning and warehouse management. So, little work needs to be done. In addition, we work with a quality information system that is known to Infor and has also been included in previous implementations at other Infor customers. So, there is also easy integration there."

"HAK is a wonderful Dutch food producer," said Marcel Koks, food industry strategy leader at Infor. "They were looking for an industry-specific solution that meets their business objectives and also fits their company culture. They have found a match for both in Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage."
