Collaboration fueled quick success. The two teams worked closely to develop a top-notch, robust mobile solution that could support SunOpta’s sustainability goals now, and easily grow with them into the future.
Now, SunOpta can use, manage, and develop mobile apps in-house across both ERPs as needed, knowing they can always turn to RFgen for support for rapid modifications.
When the COVID-19 pandemic spiked demand for food products, SunOpta’s new mobile barcoding solution helped SunOpta to adapt while continuing to distribute food safely and quickly.
Key achievements include improved:
Flexibility: SunOpta’s team has the tools they need to manage their workload quickly and efficiently. SunOpta can develop mobile apps in-house using the low-code Mobile Development Studio across both ERP platforms. Teams can quickly modify apps as workflows change or demand and customer needs necessitate.
Reliability: SunOpta’s fast-moving operation requires a solution that does not disconnect or cause productivity losses, and RFgen provides stability and reliability that SunOpta’s employees need to do their jobs accurately and effectively. Users also love the intuitive, easy-to-use interface and devices.
Traceability: As a food manufacturer, SunOpta’s top priority is food quality and safety. With RFgen, SunOpta’s teams can follow each ingredient’s and end product’s movement as it moves throughout the supply chain. If the need arises, they can quickly pull this information and communicate fully informed next steps.
Speed: During spikes in demand, RFgen’s automation technology can increase plant utilization for faster order fulfillment—without adding labor or sacrificing quality. Quick mobile app development increases SunOpta’s agility and ability to pivot quickly to remain successful while capitalizing on new business opportunities.
