About The Customer
Niche Bakers Corp. is a Canadian bakery that specializes in making a variety of baked goods, including snacks, desserts, and other sweet treats. The company prides itself on delivering high-quality food made from natural ingredients to its customers. The company has been rapidly growing, expanding its product range from cookies to cakes, bars, haystacks, and different products. The company values its people, believing that having the right people will reflect in the quality of the products.
The Challenge
Niche Bakers Corp., a Canadian bakery, was facing a challenge of tracking individual ingredients and orders due to its rapidly growing product range. The company had to trace every ingredient put into a product for quality assurance purposes. When a supplier reported an issue with a lot of product, the company had to be able to find that within minutes. The company's products had become quite complex to track as they expanded from cookies to cakes, bars, haystacks, and different products.
The Solution
To manage their growing inventory, Niche Bakers Corp. sought a business automation platform and found Fishbowl Canada. Fishbowl Canada is a business automation platform used by multiple different industries, not just manufacturing or bakery. The platform helped Niche Bakers Corp. centralize its order management and prevent shortages to keep production running smoothly. Fishbowl allowed the company to look at the whole inventory and focus strictly on those items that they were going to be short on. It also allowed them to address those concerns and issues and try to resolve them before it actually affected production.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
