Pitny’s Delicious Foods looks to BPM for efficiency

Business process management can increase the speed and efficiency of data running through a company. IT Business of Canada has the report here. Pitney’s Delicious Foods, of Burlington, Ontario, is looking to increase exactly those things while reducing the number of errors in their data keeping by adapting BPM. This fresh and frozen chicken product company is looking for their “Golden Egg” by investing in new BPM software but installing using products within SAP and Business Objects. Their aim is to help the migration of reporting processes from excel sheets to a fully automated process. With their current software, it takes five days to produce sales and financial reports. Within these reports, there tends to be errors due to the manual work required with an Excel sheet.

With this new software, they hope to automate this process which will lead to better control of their inventory, and in turn leave them with better warehouse stock numbers and provide them with more accurate restocking schedules.

The next step in their process to implementing BPM is to install the software, a seven week process. This new software will show the benefits of an automated process from the front lines of the factory to upper level management, as they will now have better control over their inventory numbers.

Iontas Helps Solve BPM Issues

According to this article on Market Watch, Iontas has added a function in their Focus software suite which will capture every step that people take to conduct business tasks, without interrupting their work or requiring integration. The application will graphically map out how processes are being followed, which will be a huge help for managers in order to determine where and how to focus resources for process improvement.

This software will end guessing games about how people use information technology. With focus, managers can look forward to improving efficiency and reducing operational costs. Iontas CEO Joe Stockton mentions:

"Every manager at every company needs to understand their processes before they can optimize them.”
