HFG Procurement Selects CDC Software’s Ross Enterprise Software to Provide Visibility and Control Throughout its Supply Chain
Hong Kong-based supply chain service provider also selected Ross Enterprise for advanced food traceability, operational visibility and inventory optimization
ATLANTA, BEIJING, January 30, 2007— CDC Software, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA) and a provider of enterprise software applications, announced today that Hong Kong-based HFG Procurement, Ltd. has chosen the Ross Enterprise suite of software applications to improve visibility and control throughout its manufacturing operations and supply chain.
Using the Ross Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution, HFG Procurement’s management will have a central view of the inventory levels in each of its outlets and the tools they need to optimize inventory levels in each location to avoid the risk of stock-outs and the high cost of emergency orders, while keeping overall inventory investments to a practical minimum. The system, designed specifically for food processors, will also help HFG Procurement synchronize internal information on materials consumption with point-of-sale data. HFG Procurement is a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) Systems accredited company and will also use the Ross ERP solution to provide end-to-end traceability of all ingredients received from suppliers all the way to finished goods sold to customers.
HFG Procurement, Ltd. is the supply chain service provider to Maria’s Bakery and Yoshinoya in Hong Kong, a chain of fast-food restaurants which has 30 retail outlets in Hong Kong that will continue its expansion plans in coming years. The company owns its central production and distribution facility which distributes to its retail outlets.
“The control and traceability capabilities of Ross Enterprise were important criteria in our section process,” said Keith Chan, chief supply officer, HFG Procurement Ltd. “We chose Ross Enterprise because of its track record in the food and beverage industry and the company’s reputation as a strong technology partner. With the implementation of Ross Enterprise, we look to become more efficient in our manufacturing processes, address the visibility and control needs of our evolving business, and at the same time, provide the brand assurance that is increasingly sought by consumers.”
“At CDC Software, it is our mission to fully understand the industry-specific challenges of our food and beverage customers,” said Beth Berndt, director of Industry Solutions at CDC Software, focused on the food and beverage sector. “With a proven technology foundation, we deliver cost-effective solutions to growing companies such as HFG Procurement, providing them with the tools necessary to become customer-driven market leaders.”
