Infor®, the industry cloud company, announced the go-live of Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage at E&A Scheer. The rum company uses the solution to optimize internal processes. The future-proof solution offers the Dutch rum company improvements for distribution and recipe management in combination with greater insight into the supply chain.
E&A Scheer is a family business that has existed for over 250 years. The company imports, blends and trades rum, Batavia arrack, and cachaça. E&A Scheer supplies custom-made rum blends, mainly to beverage companies in more than 50 countries worldwide. The more than 200 rums are purchased from at least 35 distilleries. E&A Scheer’s 100 percent subsidiary, The Main Rum Company, also offers unique and matured rums in barrels.
E&A Scheer was looking for a partner with standardized cloud solutions for sector-specific challenges. After a thorough evaluation, Infor was selected because of its extensive food & beverage functionalities, such as planning & scheduling, recipe management and inventory management. In addition, the cloud expertise and team composition from Infor played an important role in the decision.
