October 2013
Meat and fish industry bolstered by major new partnership
Two of the country’s leading
specialists in the food industry have joined forces.
International consultancy firm
Columbus and Emydex, a provider of Production Management software systems, have
announced their partnership in the Meat and Fish industry.
While Columbus build targeted
solution sets on top of the ERP Microsoft Dynamics AX platform, Emydex software
is designed to manage food production processes from door-to-door. This new
partnership will allow for a two-way integration between Emydex and Dynamics
AX, which will link the shop-floor seamlessly to the rest of an organisation
using the software.
Managing Director of Columbus UK,
Mary Hunter, said she was excited about the partnership as it shows Columbus’
commitment to the meat industry.
“I am excited about this new solution and it brings
many benefits for our key customers,” she said.
“The integration of Emydex fits perfectly in
Columbus’ vertical strategy and enhances our position as a total Food solution
provider, supporting best of breed solutions.”
David McMahon, MD of Emydex,
said: “After ten years of continuous
product development and fine-tuning, our tailored software solutions have a
significant depth and breadth of functionality developed specifically for the
meat and fish industries. Our customers can now easily combine this with the
power of Dynamics AX.
“By partnering with a global industry-focused
consultancy like Columbus, we know we have joined forces with a company that
can offer a low risk implementation to the specialised food processing
industries.”
