Specialist Italian food importer to benefit from cloud-based customer management software

Rondanini UK, an Italian food importer, has become the first UK-based distribution company to implement SAP Business ByDesign for its enterprise resource planning (ERP) functionality.

The cloud-based software will be implemented over a period of approximately 16 weeks by Enterprise on Demand (EoD), a dedicated SAP partnership organisation run as a joint venture between SAP consultancy De Villiers Walton and specialist software supplier Business on Demand.

Centralised, cloud-based access

ByDesign will give the manufacturer of both branded and own label fine foods, such as Emma Giordani, Pizza Express, Italfresco and Disney Fresh Pasta, the means to securely access data anywhere in the world and provide a snapshot view current business performance, according to Andrew Drake, Rondanini’s financial officer.

“We are delighted to be working with Enterprise on Demand and using the ByDesign solution,” Drake added. “We require a system that offers best-practice SAP functionality such as end-to-end business coverage, but at a fraction of the cost of a traditional SAP solution. We also need a solution that can be easily scaled to out growing business needs.”
