Case Continental Sweets
An ERP transition with uninterrupted operations
Continental Sweets Benelux distributes and produces confectionery products, with a portfolio of national and international brands. To support its growth ambitions in the Benelux, the company selected Racordo to replace its existing ERP environment.
The challenge
Finance, sales, purchasing and stock processes needed less manual work, stronger controls and more reliable reporting. The new ERP also had to support food distribution requirements, including FEFO (First Expired, First Out), to prioritise stock by expiry date.
Why Racordo
Racordo combined a strong fit for the business with value for money and standard functionality that limited the need for customisation. Its Belgian presence and consultants' understanding of the business, professionalism and open communication helped make the difference.
What changed
Continental Sweets went live with no disruption to inbound or outbound operations. Invoicing was accurate and timely from day one, while structured ERP processes reduced manual work and strengthened controls.
What Racordo delivered
- Finance, sales, purchasing and stock in one platform
- FEFO as standard
- Limited custom development
