The company has a wide distribution network with over 400 locations throughout the Midwest and as far south as Florida.

挑战
Pacific Valley Dairy, a producer and distributor of ice cream mixes and related supplies, faced a significant logistical challenge. With over 400 locations throughout the Midwest and as far south as Florida, the company needed a way to manage and track its raw materials, finished products, and distribution. The company had been using QuickBooks for its day-to-day business operations since its inception three years ago. However, they quickly realized that QuickBooks alone did not have the capabilities to manage the company's inventory and distribution requirements. They needed a stronger system that would integrate well with QuickBooks.
解决方案
To solve their logistical problem, Pacific Valley Dairy turned to Fishbowl Manufacturing to streamline their business process and manage the inventory control of raw materials, production, finished goods, distribution, and sales. The company uses 12 Fishbowl users. Fishbowl Manufacturing allows them to create separate categories for the raw ingredients, making it easier to track the use of each ingredient for finished products. For distribution, Fishbowl makes getting the company’s finished products to its store locations efficient and easy. They have been able to generate pick labels from their warehouse, which are printed out in the order of each stop. This makes loading and unloading the trucks very easy. Fishbowl also helps in dealing with multiple locations and different business types, which created problems with invoicing. They use Fishbowl to create separate categories for its different pricing structures, making it easier to properly invoice each business, and manage account receivables for each.

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.
