Silver Spring Foods Improves Inventory With Deacom ERP

Silver Spring Foods not only has its own products and brands, but is it also a large co-packer for some of the biggest names on grocery shelves today. A business like theirs has complexities surrounding inventory, documentation, and unique requirements, and Silver Spring Foods manages it with the help of DEACOM. Silver Spring CIO, Noah Wallace III, outlined the biggest impacts that DEACOM ERP has made on their business.


•Reducing Inventory Variance by up to 99%
For years, Silver Spring Foods accepted the fact that their inventory was off $250,000-$300,000. Since implementing DEACOM, they have significantly reduced their inventory variance “Every year, we have gotten better and better,” said Wallace. “We are currently down to about $1,700 in variance even though we now have more inventory.”


•Automating Document Generation
Prior to DEACOM, Silver Spring Foods needed to pull information from multiple systems to create a single document, not to mention manually putting it all together. Today, they have a strong system in place that keeps all critical information in one location and automatically generates documents like Certificate of Analysis and Bill of Ladings. “It’s a much simpler task than it used to be and we know that it is done right. This really helped our people on the warehouse side,” said Wallace.


•Handling Complex Requirements
Making 700-800 different products for various companies, including their own, creates a lot of complexity in their business processes as each brand has their own requirements and expectations. “Before Deacom, a lot of processes were handled outside of the ERP – through excel or MS Access,” said Wallace. “But now with DEACOM, we have the ability to handle those requirements within the system.”
