About The Customer
La Petite Bretonne is a well-known brand in Québec, Canada, famous for its pastries and bakery products. The company's products are a staple in the pastry and bakery departments of large and small grocery stores. The company produces a million mini-croissants in a day. The company has a team from each factory and department to identify and prioritize all the business processes and functional requirements that need optimization. The company was looking for an ERP system that could meet its needs and goals, and support them for many years.
The Challenge
La Petite Bretonne, a famous pastry and bakery brand in Québec, was looking for an ERP system that could meet its needs and goals. The company wanted a system that could handle changes in business realities and support them for many years. They were looking for a developer, not just an integrator, who could adapt the ERP system to their requirements. The company also wanted to spend less time on data entry and more time on data analysis and strategy implementation. The invoice buy-back process was a crucial point for La Petite Bretonne, and they needed a system that could handle this process efficiently.
The Solution
La Petite Bretonne chose the Fidelio ERP system from Commsoft Technologies. The system was chosen for its ability to adapt to the company's requirements and handle changes in business realities. The system was implemented with the help of a team from each factory and department of the company. The Fidelio ERP system allowed the company to spend less time on data entry and more time on data analysis and strategy implementation. The system also improved the company's control process, with features such as creating a purchase order that, on reception, is transformed directly into an invoice, and real-time inventory linking. The system also provided improved search features, saving considerable time.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
