Nutreco and Infor Collaborate to Implement CloudSuite Food & Beverage

In a significant stride toward embracing digital transformation, Nutreco, a global leader in nutritional solutions and services for the aquaculture and animal nutrition industry, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Infor to implement Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage. This move is set to revolutionize Nutreco's operations, introducing heightened scalability, streamlined processes, and cutting-edge technology integration. Boasting operations across 37 countries with over 100 production plants and a workforce encompassing 3,600 users, Nutreco sought a robust cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform capable of efficiently managing crucial information and harmonizing business processes. The selected solution, Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage, leverages the robust capabilities of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is hosted on Infor's public cloud services, showcasing the platform's scalability and multi-tenant industry cloud capabilities. Dubbed "Unite," the Infor platform seamlessly integrates with Nutreco's existing third-party systems, fostering standardization throughout the organization and facilitating the creation of comprehensive, globally aggregated reports. These reports provide invaluable insights for integrated business planning cycles, optimizing stock levels, and ensuring punctual deliveries.

Erik Beckers, CIO of Nutreco, emphasized the collaborative and innovative nature of the partnership with Infor. “Infor’s willingness to collaborate and develop solutions to meet the specific requirements of our needs and translate these in the solution, its responsiveness to any issues or development needs sets it apart as a solid, innovative, and trustworthy partner,” Beckers stated.

Beyond enhancing operational efficiency, Unite integrates sustainability—a central tenet of Nutreco's strategy—into its framework. Pertinent sustainability data points are systematically organized within the system, enabling the generation of transparent and automated sustainability reports. This integration aligns seamlessly with Nutreco's dedication to sustainable practices and transparent reporting.

Hein Kivits, Infor’s country manager and senior sales director for Benelux, highlighted the depth of the partnership. “Nutreco and Infor have been partners for several years. This is a partnership where we not only focus on mutual business value but also on co-development and the adoption of our new technologies within the Nutreco organization,” Kivits explained.

The deployment of Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage underscores Nutreco's unwavering commitment to innovation and sustainability. By harnessing the capabilities of this advanced platform, Nutreco positions itself to navigate the evolving landscape of the aquaculture and animal nutrition industry, simultaneously delivering significant value to its customers and stakeholders.
