About the customer
Taylor Preston is a New Zealand red meat processor operating in a highly demanding and time-sensitive manufacturing environment. The company relies on robust business systems to support processing operations, inventory management, commercial activities and timely decision-making across the organization.
For Taylor Preston, technology plays an important role in keeping operations running efficiently. From supporting day-to-day activities to providing the information needed for timely decision-making, reliable systems are essential to the organization’s success.
The company’s existing MeatPro and Navision 2016 environment remained businesscritical, but Taylor Preston wanted a more sustainable way to stay current without the disruption associated with major upgrade projects. Previous upgrades had required significant time and effort, making it difficult to maintain the desired pace of change.
Any new solution also needed to retain the specialist capabilities required for red meat processing. The challenge was therefore not simply to replace existing systems, but to modernize without compromising the functionality and processes the organization relied on every day.
