April 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Atlanta, GA. – Deven Shah, VP Information Technology from Admiration® Foods will be joining a panel of Microsoft Dynamics® customers to share insights on Dynamics GP for manufacturing and distribution. In December 2010, Admiration Foods selected the Vicinity formula manufacturing solution to enhance and extend the company’s existing Microsoft Dynamics investment. The implementation of Vicinity software will enable Admiration to gain better control of production costs, batch yields and formula management.

Headquartered in Englewood, New Jersey, Admiration Foods is the largest privately held supplier of cooking oil and oil based products in the United States. Consuming over 3 million pounds of raw oil per day, the company manufactures and prepares over 100 different oil based food products.
