\nOutReach<\/a>\u00a0– 11 February 2022\u00a0–\u00a0Infor<\/a>, the industry cloud company, today announced that My
\nFood Bag, a leading recipe and meal delivery service, has deployed Infor CloudSuite
\nFood & Beverage (F&B) ERP to achieve organisational-wide transparency
\nand full visibility of end-to-end profitability.<\/p>\n
\nfive years of operation with revenues of more than $100 million, the
\ncloud-native My Food Bag recognised the need to invest in a modern,
\nindustry-specific ERP platform. It completed a rapid implementation of Infor
\nCloudSuite F&B and Infor Product Lifecycle Management for Process (Optiva) —
\nin a matter of months — that has benefited internal and external stakeholders,
\nincluding customers and suppliers.<\/p>\n

\nand processes were not able to scale with the business. My Food Bag decided to
\ncompletely transform its back office to support continued meteoric expansion.
\nIt focused on finding a partner with industry-specific knowledge, a cloud-first
\nstrategy, and strong integration so that its systems could continue to scale.<\/p>\n
\nwas a real turning point for the business: it was a signal that we were growing
\nup, that we were maturing. As our product range became more complex and our
\ncustomers became demanding, it was really important for us to have a single
\nsource of the truth, and a single system to support the flow of information
\nright across the business.”<\/p>\n
\nweekly feedback it collects on every recipe, and Infor has been crucial to
\ncustomer retention.<\/p>\n
\ningredient in every recipe is costing us. We can then take that visibility and
\nalign it to the feedback from our customers to help us optimise and deliver new
\nrecipes that will not only help us grow but keep our customers coming back,” he
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
\n80-plus strong local supplier base with Infor, Bowler explained.<\/p>\n
\nThey don’t necessarily have the cashflow to support operations for extended
\nperiods of time without payment. It’s therefore incredibly important that we
\npay our suppliers on time and accurately, so they can keep operating and
\nproviding produce for our deliveries. Moving to Infor Food & Beverage has
\nreally helped streamline our financial processes so that we can be confident
\nthat we are paying our suppliers on time,” he said.<\/p>\n
\nWinter, prior to Infor, there was “immense difficulty asking very basic
\nquestions of the data” as the organisation didn’t have a single source of the
\ntruth. “We had multiple sources of the truth \u2013 and that meant I was wasting
\ntime working through inconsistencies in the data instead of focusing on
\nstrategic priorities”.<\/p>\n
\nfor nutritional information and allergens but Infor PLM for Process has provided
\na robust recipe management system with controls and parameters in place to
\nprovide confidence at any scale. <\/p>\n
\n“My Food Bag is one of New Zealand’s, and indeed the region’s, great success
\nstories. It played a critical role in keeping Kiwis well-nourished when
\nlockdown measures were in place, and Infor is proud to support such an
\ninnovative and agile brand delivering quality food each and every day. By
\nadopting a close, transparent partnership approach, Infor has managed to
\ndeliver business benefits to My Food Bag in a matter of months compared with
\nthe industry standard of many years.”<\/p>\n
