To support rapid growth Brookfarm, Australia's most awarded producer of gourmet macadamia products, has signed a contract to implement the Sanderson food & drink system, UnityF8.

Based in Byron Bay, the business is replacing an accounts system that no longer copes with the company’s increased sales volumes and growth plans. Brookfarm's products include muesli-based snacks and macadamia oil.

UnityF8 will save Brookfarm significant time in the production planning and cost management processes which are key to its business. The efficiency and accuracy of pickers in its warehouse will be improved using UnityF8's integrated Radio Data Terminals.

By consolidating tasks across departments, the integrated Sanderson system will deliver substantial efficiency gains and make future growth easier - for example, speeding up sales order processing.

For phase two of the project Brookfarm plans to integrate weigh scales to improve control of product quality and production material costs. The company also expects to improve sales analysis using UnityF8's reporting and dashboard tools.

Mark Lofthouse, Product Manager for Sanderson said:

"UnityF8 will deliver significant time savings for Brookfarm across its operations, in particular within planning and cost management. Consolidating onto a single platform sets the business up for future growth."
