Meat&More drives operational excellence

Quality, pragmatism and operational excellence

The DNA of Meat&More is one of a company rooted in Belgian product quality, a spirit of pragmatism and a drive for operational excellence. When Meat&More realised the time had come to optimise their back-office processes and production lines with an ERP system, they found their partner in Delaware.

“Despite having grown to a company of over 1.100 employees, we never want to lose track of where we come from. Essentially, we still want to be a place that feels like a family company. As such, having a partner that treated us as equals, and approached our challenges with the same level of pragmatism that we have was important to us. That was certainly the case for Delaware,” recalls Wim Blomme, Meat&More project manager.

Delaware implemented a standardised solution based on its FAST-FOOD methodology. It assessed all key users and went in with a step-by-step approach, including testing and training, to make sure the entire system would go live without a hitch. “In fact,” adds Mr. Blomme, “we even had a few days to spare before the deadline, that’s how efficient it all went.”

Benefits

The new ERP system allowed Meat&More to keep using its skilled employees to create value while automating routine tasks and processes. “The system also quickly tells us if something is not going as expected. When we can quickly react to potential problems, it gives us the confidence that we are doing the right things in the right way at the right time,” says Mr. Blomme.
