Smaken av Grimstad Moves ERP to the Infor Cloud in Eight Weeks

Infor recently announced that Smaken av Grimstad AS, Norway’s leading provider of canned and preserved fresh produce, has gone live with Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage in just eight weeks. Infor’s powerful, cloud-native, industry-focused enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution will deliver insights from across the supply chain, underpinning future business growth. The project was managed by Infor alliance partner Columbus. Per the press release, Smaken av Grimstad had last upgraded its on-premises ERP system in 2018 and was using the incumbent solution across the business to manage everything from purchasing raw materials, inventory and production planning to sales, invoicing and accounting. The business felt it was being held back by its ERP system and wanted to have a more agile evergreen ERP and ability to consume new technology as a cloud service. Thus, they decided to implement Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage, powered by AWS (Amazon Web Services). Smaken av Grimstad was keen to make the move to the cloud, but it needed to be ready before the harvest. The team at Columbus worked hard and after just eight weeks, acheived their goals in completing moving the company to the cloud. Marcel Koks, Infor food industry strategy leader, comments on the project, “With Infor CloudSuite Food and Beverage, Smaken av Grimstad has invested in a solution for the long term. Our industry-specific functionality helps manufacturers increase visibility right across the supply chain, delivering the valuable insight needed to help reduce costs and increase efficiency, all while boosting business agility. It’s a testament to the hard work of the teams involved that we were able to achieve a successful implementation in just eight weeks.”
