关于客户
Valeo Foods is one of Europe’s fastest growing consumer foods producers, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with a portfolio of 68 international brands. Valeo Foods has quadrupled in size since its formation in 2010, and has successfully acquired 12 leading food businesses post formation. Valeo Foods has €870 million annual sales spread across 92 global markets. The company has a strong presence in the consumer foods production industry and has been expanding rapidly through acquisitions. With a diverse range of brands and a significant market reach, Valeo Foods is a key player in the European consumer foods sector.
挑战
Valeo Foods Group had grown significantly through acquisitions, yet was still using Excel® for its monthly close and consolidation process. All the local operating entities reported their data from different source systems in Excel® sheets. These sheets were then emailed to the Group Finance team to collate both management and statutory information in Excel®. This included consolidations for foreign currency translations, which was becoming more difficult as the group expanded into new geographies with different reporting currencies. The manual nature of the consolidation process presented challenges in calculating these scenarios. On top of this, as each financial year passed, the Excel® consolidated model continued to get larger with increased complexity and was becoming unsustainable. Both management and statutory reporting was completed in Excel® and was becoming increasingly cumbersome and prone to error. “We then started the search for a sustainable tool to enable the way forward,” says Dónal Staunton of Valeo Foods, Group Finance. “We needed to safeguard the creation of financial and management reports with a modern solution offering the agility to support future growth.”
解决方案
Valeo Foods began reviewing corporate performance management (CPM) products and evaluated several options, both large and small. Given the acquisitive nature of the business, Valeo Foods wanted to assess in detail which solution was flexible enough to account for these critical and frequent business changes. AMCO Solutions, a Diamond OneStream Partner, was asked to show Valeo how OneStream would cope with their requirements. They explained how the implementation would work in a detailed design document. “Ultimately, OneStream was selected based on positive feedback from global research firms, and after a demonstration of the platform’s capability during the vendor selection process,” says Staunton. “Also, the many positive reviews from calls we conducted with existing OneStream customers firmed up our decision.” The implementation of OneStream started with a design phase in which the scope of the project was determined. Phase 1 of the overall Valeo Foods CPM Roadmap encompasses the financial consolidation and close process. The initial part of Phase 2 will see the KPI framework defined and non-financial data added in the database. The second part of Phase 2 will see Business Intelligence (BI) reporting brought into the application. Phase 3 will see driver-based forecasting deployed with OneStream.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals. And, with a long standing history supporting customers in the food processing, service, and retail settings, Victor knew that strict regulations were costing organizations thousands of dollars in excess overhead trying to manage their rodent-control solutions. Trap inspections in these environments are often difficult and time consuming, requiring personnel to manually check a trap’s status multiple times per day, amounting to over six hours of manual labor. Victor is looking for an innovative way to increase operational efficiencies with the use of technology.
