Foodimpuls optimises logistics and quality with Aiden WMS

Foodimpuls wanted to move away from its separate systems in order to gain more insight, expand online services, and be scalable for the future. One requirement was that the new IT partner had to have in-depth, in-house knowledge of scanning solutions and warehouse management. That’s how Gido de Jong, controller of Haarsma Foodimpuls, ended up with SAP Business One and Aiden’s WMS solution. ‘Now we can process orders quickly and efficiently, automatically record quality checks, and track deliveries at all times.’

51-200 employees

Foodimpuls represents the two family-owned companies of Haarsma Foodimpuls and Booijman Foodimpuls. Together they engage in the procurement of both food and non-food products, which they sell and distribute to food entrepreneurs in the Netherlands. In addition to nationwide coverage, the joining of forces provides benefits in the areas of procurement, logistics, services and marketing. In the market, Foodimpuls specifically distinguishes itself with its high level of quality and service. This is how Foodimpuls supports their customers in becoming more successful, getting more out of their stores, and remaining future-proof.

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.’
