Santa Maria Foods Selects Sage ERP X3

Pittsburgh, PA – June 8th, 2007

360 ESS, a Sage ERP X3 reseller partner, today announced that Santa Maria Foods (www.santamariafoods.ca) selected the Sage ERP X3 Process suite to maximize the customer experience and manage the company’s rapid growth.

Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Santa Maria Foods is Canada's largest manufacturer, marketer and distributor of Italian-style deli meats, primarily under the brand names Mastro and San Daniele. The company is also a leading provider of imported Italian specialty foods such as Lavazza premium coffee, San Benetto water and Mastro olive oil. With three manufacturing facilities in Ontario (Toronto, Brampton and Belleville) and three distribution facilities across Canada (Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver), the company markets its products primarily in North America, South America and the Caribbean.

According to Mr. G. Zablodski, Santa Maria’s IT Manager and Project Leader, “We realized that, with the company growth, our current legacy software solution and the lack of integration would not fit our needs, and more importantly, the needs of our customers. After six months of serious selection efforts, we came to the conclusion that Sage ERP X3 was the best possible fit of the packages we evaluated.”

Santa Maria’s selection team recognized that Sage ERP X3’s functionality was the best value for the price and offered the lowest total cost of ownership of the packages they evaluated. Additionally, the selection team preferred the system’s user-friendly, intuitive User Interface and ease of customization.

Sage ERP X3 Process will consolidate Santa Maria’s multiple disparate systems, providing the company with a fully integrated, next-generation software platform. All standard modules will be implemented along with the following add-on modules:

Sage ERP X3 Data Collection – for seamless and secure processing of manufacturing and warehouse-related business transactions,

Sage ERP X3 CRM – to efficiently manage customer information, · Business Intelligence Tools – to promote effective management reporting and decision-making,

SmartForecasts (from Sage ERP X3 partner Smart Software) – will provide planning and scheduling functionality.

Mike Stubbs, Manager – Professional Services for 360 ESS Canada, said, “Successful business is all about continuous improvement – re-invigorating the business in order to better satisfy customers. Santa Maria Foods understands this and has embarked on a mission to transform the business around the implementation of a new ERP solution.”
