Elucid will help drive sales by allowing Haith’s to better understand customer buying habits.

Sanderson, the publicly owned UK provider of software solutions for mail order and multi-channel businesses, has won a contract to supply its Elucid solution to Haith’s Bird Foods.

Haith’s have been producing and retailing high quality bird foods from their Lincolnshire base since 1937, building a reputation for expertise and quality customer service, and have formed a partnership with renowned ornithologist Bill Oddie. Haith’s operate through mail order, retail e-commerce and wholesale and have invested in the Elucid solution to support these sales channels.

Haith’s plan to implement the Sanderson system across the entire organisation to enhance both the retail and manufacturing arms of the business. The software provides accurate stock management capabilities, allows greater cost control and ensures customer orders are fulfilled.

Advanced reporting functionality provides instant management information, enhancing customer service as well as identifying opportunities for cross and up-selling across all sales channels. As a truly multi-channel solution, Elucid will help drive sales by allowing Haith’s tobetter understand customer buying habits.

Haith’s Director Simon King said:

“Sanderson demonstrated their Elucid system and without fear I can say it was just about perfect. The bottom line is that the software will improve our customer relationship management dramatically and enable us to do what all good manufacturers want to do - concentrate on quality, cost base and product availability. The system adds tremendous value, offering information rich reports at the click of a mouse.”

Ian Newcombe, Managing Director of the Sanderson Multi-Channel business, commented:

"We are delighted to support Haith’s and look forward to helping them continue to grow. Haith’s are a well run company with a great heritage and we’re confident the Sanderson system can help Simon and his team achieve their objectives.”
