Reporting on different disciplines
Previously, Foodimpuls worked with an ERP system for the food industry, linked to a financial package. Gido de Jong explains: ‘These systems, while linked, were only one-way. As a result, we missed the context and additional information of the data in the financial package. For example, you could not click directly from a journal entry to the corresponding sales order. With SAP Business One, this is all integrated into one system, which has significantly increased reporting capabilities across disciplines.’

Online ordering via web shop and app
De Jong continues: ‘SAP offered more options for linking with e-commerce. Our customers can now order online via a web shop and a mobile app. The link to SAP Business One allows them to see in real time whether the desired products are in stock. This is a major step forward for our services.’
Added value of Aiden
De Jong is pleased with the collaboration with Aiden. ‘I feel that the knowledge and experience of Aiden’s consultants have been valuable. They have translated lessons learned at other parties and in other sectors to our situation. Naturally, we appreciate that. Furthermore, Aiden’s client days are fun and educational.’
