After 5 long months, Commander Chris Hadfield has returned to Earth. Welcome back Chris! So what does a Canadian astronaut have to do with ERP systems?

Taste of Nature snack bars were the snack of choice in the International Space Station during Hadfield’s mission. These organic, gluten-free and non-GMO bars are produced by Shandiz Natural Foods.

Shandiz chose to implement an ERP system because they recognized improvement related to:

Improved inventory accuracy and control
Enhanced product costing and profitability management
Re-designed material requirements planning and production scheduling
Augmented shop-floor and work order management
Upgraded financial reporting and analytics capabilities
Enhanced process control and compliance to industry regulations and organic certification standards

Shandiz selected Sage ERP X3 to address the above business challenges.
