关于客户
Clabber Girl Corporation (Clabber Girl) has undergone many transformations since incorporation over 150 years ago. The company manufactured spices, coffees, and baking powder under many different brand names. By 1899 Clabber brand baking powder was introduced, and today the Clabber Girl brand, as renamed in 1923, is distributed nationwide and to many countries across the world. Foodservice offerings include baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, OilFlex Oil Stabilizer, and Royal brand products, which include cheesecakes, puddings, and gelatins. Industrial formulations are designed specifically for the foodservice industry.
挑战
Providing high-quality products to the at-home baker and the industrial baking industry involved complex processes that didn’t match current software features. Using discrete manufacturing software was causing production delays and limiting their ability to use batch manufacturing, or formula manufacturing, to satisfy customer needs. Tracking ingredients, multiple packaging options, and configuring production schedules based on formulas was a challenge. Controlled material requirement planning was difficult, there were multiple users entering transactions that generated volumes of data, and there was no consistent way to collect and store component attributes. Clabber Girl’s business was growing, and operations were becoming more complex. With an aggressive business plan, Clabber Girl needed real-time data to make the crucial decisions to drive growth.
解决方案
Clabber Girl was in search of a manufacturing solution to streamline production, as well as a business management solution that would provide the insight needed to grow their business. In the first quarter of 2008, Vicinity was evaluated and selected as the solution best suited for Clabber Girl’s goals, and the system went live that fall. After implementing Microsoft Dynamics GP and Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Clabber Girl was able to use formulas to develop finished goods based on packaging requirements. Retooling dynamics for batch manufacturing, by formula with Vicinity instead of discrete manufacturing, was a significant factor in streamlining production operations. They now have the flexibility to package specific formulas in multiple containers. The new software permitted employees to quickly and easily record data as they complete tasks. In addition, Clabber Girl can analyze true cost data to maximize operations and profitability. The software developed by Vicinity has been able to satisfy all of the challenges that Clabber Girl once faced. As a result, business has grown and Clabber Girl improved productivity, profitability, and is able to provide superior customer service.

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.
