Duke Foods Selects Vicinity Manufacturing to Meet Production Needs

ATLANTA - Jan. 22, 2015 - PRLog -- Vicinity Manufacturing™ is pleased to announce that Duke Food Productions recently selected and implemented Vicinity software at their South Carolina facility.

Duke Food Productions isa proud manufacturer of quality foods such as dips, spreads, and desserts. The company manufactures a variety of products for private label grocery sale, whichincludes: Publix, Sysco, and Ingles.

Duke Food Productions have been producing sandwich spreads since 1917 as the Duke Sandwich Company. Through the years Duke Food Productions have grown to own and operate a fully USDA/FDA compliant manufacturing plant to supply their restaurants in addition to serving other companies by providing private label production.

To support their growing organization, Duke invested in Microsoft Dynamics ERP System. Though the new system enabled Duke’s overall business operations, they needed a solution that catered to their formula-manufacturing needs.

“With our current software system set up, our team was forced to deal with everything in the smallest unit of measurement. This created disconnect between the functionality of our ERP system and our everyday production process. Our team developed certain workarounds to help bridge the gap. But as result of the conflict in our system, inventory and adjustments became a nightmare.

Vicinity displayed a thorough understanding of formulaic weights and measures. We are confident that Vicinity will step in to address our process manufacturing needs, including variance and yield calculations, while not having to keep everything broken down into the smallest common denominator.

Overall, we expect it will enhance our ability to procure, inventory, & sell in case size and value with Dynamics.”

-Mike J. de Bellefeuille, Director of Purchasing/Human Resources, Duke Food Productions.

Vicinity extends the already robust Microsoft Dynamics® financial and distribution offerings to deliver a complete ERP package by integrating and automating critical data along production, finance, quality, scheduling and compliance.
