LiDestri Foods

LiDestri was tracking all demand management activities on spreadsheets and entering data manually into a Planning System. The process was very manual, cumbersome to manage, and had the potential to introduce errors. The manual process also meant there were no automated reports in place. LiDestri needed to improve demand management with visualization and sophisticated, automated reporting. Traceability, as part of their sustainability efforts, was also of paramount importance.

With help from ArganoCSS, the company compared the Oracle on-premise solution, Demantra, which they owned but had not implemented, to Supply Chain Cloud. That exercise drove the business case to select Oracle’s Supply Chain Cloud solution over Demantra. The implementation leveraged standard integrations of Supply Chain Planning Cloud with EBS release 12.1.3; and the solution was rolled out to six facilities in four states.

Their integrated footprint included Supply Chain Cloud and an on-premise, hosted EBS instance including, EBS-OPM key modules and ASCP. Not only did LiDestri modernize their solution footprint but they saved on implementation and recurring costs by implementing Supply Chain Cloud, reducing annual support costs and total cost of ownership. They also eliminated spreadsheets and manual entry that had greater potential for error, while improving upon their Green processes to reduce waste and save millions.
