Kanes installs a new ERP system

Kanes supplies over 3.2M packs of fresh produce including washed and ready-to-eat salads, prepared and stir-fry vegetable mixes to supermarkets each week. It has a turnover of over £100M.

The company installed a new IFS Applications 9 ERP system. As well as handling supply chain data across the company, it will be used by over 100 maintenance and quality technicians for real-time reporting on the shop floor.

Entire supply chain ​

“With IFS Applications 9 we will have a system that supports the business through the entire supply chain from procurement, raw material handling, production and final shipment to our customers,” ​says Mark Harris, Kanes’s production director.

“In addition, IFS Applications 9 will allow us to replace a number of stand-alone systems, such as quality management, plant maintenance, payroll, human resources and time and attendance, giving complete visibility across the business.”​

Critical ​

Much of the produce arriving at Kanes is processed and dispatched in the same day, so speed and accuracy of data capture is imperative. That is why the deployment of a number of IFS mobile solutions was critical.

Kanes will use IFS Warehouse Data Collection for the reporting of all movement of goods throughout the product process.
