Flowers Foods Speeds Perishable Goods Through Supply Chain
Flowers Foods is generating strong results from its recent implementation of HighJump Software's warehouse, transportation and yard management systems. With $1.9 billion in 2006 sales, Flowers Foods is a producer and marketer of fresh and frozen bakery goods, including top brands like Nature's Own, Cobblestone Mill, Sunbeam, Blue Bird and Mrs. Freshley's. The company has leveraged its HighJump solutions to increase order fulfillment accuracy to more than 99 percent without adding to its labor force. "We selected the HighJump suite to support our goal of minimal inventory," says Vyto Razminas, vice president and chief information officer, Flowers Foods. "Our HighJump solutions give us visibility across multiple nodes in our supply chain, enabling us to make intelligent business decisions that support our corporate initiatives for growth and outstanding customer service."
