What challenges did Orkla Food Ingredients face before Dynamics 365?
Orkla Food Ingredients faced a scattered IT landscape due to its multi-local business model, which resulted in several disparate ERP systems. This fragmentation hindered efficient collaboration and cross-selling, as product information was primarily shared through Excel sheets. Warehouse operations were also siloed, making it difficult to manage inbound and outbound processes effectively, leading to potential inventory shortages and fulfillment delays.
How has Dynamics 365 improved warehouse operations at Orkla Food Ingredients?
The implementation of Dynamics 365 has significantly improved warehouse operations by streamlining inbound and outbound processes. For example, KåKå, one of OFI's brands, reported a 44% increase in efficiency, going from 38 lines picked per hour to 56. The system has enhanced accuracy and trust in operations, allowing warehouse teams to handle over 450 lines and manually pick 7,000-9,000 kg in a single shift, while also speeding up the inbound process to three times faster.
What are the future plans for Dynamics 365 at Orkla Food Ingredients?
Orkla Food Ingredients plans to consolidate and harmonize all its business units on the Dynamics 365 platform, with 15 business units in nine European countries operational by the end of 2024. The company aims to manage five to six go-lives annually and is also looking to integrate third-party solutions for accounts payable automation and B2B e-commerce, enhancing collaboration and information sharing across its units.
