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.

Community College moves to BPM

In a recent article by Fox Business, they reported that Edmonds Community College, in Washington state, is transforming to a BPM system to manage their processes. They believe that by automating the business process, they will improve the efficiency of the administration and improve employee activity

The new system they’ve adopted, Liquid Office, will help create, deploy, route, approve and manage many digital documents a year. The current system for management of documents is primarily done with paper.

Here is what Victor Portolese, manager, Application Development Services at Edmonds Community College, had to say about their transition:

"Previously, all of our administrative information was managed using paper-based processes that were labor intensive and prone to error. We required a solution that would reduce the time and costs associated with the management of forms while also integrating easily with our existing system framework. The LiquidOffice solution provides us with out-of-the-box robust capabilities that can be rapidly tailored and deployed by our staff with little to no programming. With Autonomy Cardiff, we will be able to automate and streamline our HR-related business processes that have historically been paper based, helping to decrease the time it takes to process our digital forms, while increasing our employees' productivity.”
