xTuple Saves Cedarlane Natural Foods More than $50,000 Post Implementation

Cedarlane was growing, and its manual accounting system had inadequate manufacturing, distribution and inventory capabilities. “We produce over 250 finished products, in multiple locations, from close to a thousand ingredients. Our manual business processes just couldn’t keep pace,” said Daniel Baroco, IT Director. Full traceability to original ingredients by lot number was essential.

After reviewing six, mostly Windows-based software vendors who fulfilled their basic requirements, Cedarlane chose xTuple.

“We chose xTuple, at first, for the wrong reason — price. I was intrigued by the incredible savings,” stated Baroco. “But we stayed for the right reasons. xTuple is a great product with a great company behind it.”

xTuple software helped streamline operations in accounting, inventory, purchasing, manufacturing and distribution.

In addition, xTuple helped this food manufacturer comply with specific requirements, including inventory control, lot control, location control (to support the allergen and organic programs) and expiration dates.
