SAN JOSE, Calif., May 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- NETSUITE
SUITEWORLD 2016 -- NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's
leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP and omnichannel
commerce software suites, today announced that Specialty Bakery, a
leading supplier of frozen bakery goods, has deployed NetSuite to
run its entire core business including sales, purchasing, order
management, supply chain execution, manufacturing, warehouse
management and financials. With NetSuite, Specialty Bakery
opened a state-of-the-art, 225,000-square-foot commercial bakery in
Indianapolis, Indiana, where
employees use shop floor mobile devices for real-time access to
inventory, order and shipping data for better quality control and
execution.
Launched as a green-field project in 2013 by innovators from the
commercial baking industry, Specialty Bakery's strategy is to
invest in top-quality baking equipment, personnel and IT
infrastructure as it grows its business in the food service and
retail in-store bakery industries. After evaluating competing SAP
and Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision) solutions, Specialty Bakery
selected NetSuite based on its rapid implementation time,
customization capability with the lowest total cost of ownership
(TCO) and deep batch manufacturing functionality. This helps the
company to gain process automation for optimal efficiency, quality
control tracking and scalability to expand the business as new
customers come onboard—all with a user-friendly interface and
functionality.
"We use NetSuite to run the business—it's the cornerstone of our
IT strategy," said Specialty Bakery CEO Ahmad Hamade. "When we looked at NetSuite, we
were wowed by its capabilities from a manufacturing perspective.
NetSuite was hands-down the best solution for us."
With NetSuite, Specialty Bakery is better able to:
- Run more profitably from order-to-cash and procure-to-pay
through build-to-ship, helping the business achieve overall
operational excellence, take control of supply chain processes and
improve business value, while reducing operating costs and IT
overhead.
- Scale its system for high production volumes, helping it to
supply frozen dough for sandwich rolls, flatbreads and cookies to
one of the largest quick-serve restaurant chains in North America.
- Provide batch management through enhanced bills of material,
product routings, recipe instruction, material control and quality
compliance.
- Support first in, first out (FIFO) management to help ensure
freshness in food service production.
- Manage advanced materials including lot controlled raw,
individual and bulk ingredients.
- Manage the production lifecycle and data capture from barcode
scanning devices and tablets in real-time.
- Minimize volatility and variance to help ensure consistent and
cost-effective production of premium frozen bakery products that
meet exacting customer specifications.
"Our strategy from the beginning was to ensure that our
investments were highly scalable, and NetSuite aligns very well
with that," Specialty Bakery's Hamade said. "We believe we've built
a flagship solution with NetSuite that provides real value to our
customers in terms of driving efficiencies and speed to market
solutions."

NetSuite to run complex, mission-critical business processes
