Wooden Bakery Enhances Operational Visibility & Leverages Advanced Production Capabilities with BatchMaster Manufacturing
Wooden Bakery was established in 1969 by Mr Edward Bou Habib with a vision to provide top-quality bread. Headquartered in Jal El Dib, Lebanon, Wooden Bakery has ventured internationally into Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Iraq, and Kuwait. From opening its first retail store in 1999 to revolutionising the whole bakery industry in Lebanon, it has come a long way. Their mission is to emerge as the top bakery choice in the Middle East and attain a prominent global position.
Initially, the company relied on legacy software for operations, which failed to adapt to its evolving needs as it expanded. Soon, the need for niche-specific ERP software for better visibility and coordination became evident, and they began searching for it.
The Need for a Tailored ERP Solution
Wooden Bakery’s expansion demanded a niche-specific ERP solution capable of collecting, analysing, and reporting essential business data in real time. “We were looking for a solution that would introduce a more integrated, automated way of managing our business,” said Mr Adnan Gerges, Deputy General Manager – Group CFO at Wooden Bakery.
WHY WOODEN BAKERY CHOSE BATCHMASTER .
“Most of the vendors we approached couldn’t provide us with an end-to-end solution and didn’t have the requisite knowledge of the SAP HANA technology & process manufacturing in the bakery vertical,” said Mrs Jocelyne Moussa, IT Manager at Wooden Bakery.
However, it wasn’t the same case with the people at BatchMaster, who were well placed to answer all our queries. Knowing that it is a leader in providing ERP solutions to process manufacturing industries, it didn’t take us long to finalise our association with BatchMaster.”
