H-E-B Grocery Implements Microsoft Dynamics AX at Two Additional Food Processing Plants

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. -- Junction Solutions, the premier provider of industry-focused enterprise software and services based on Microsoft Dynamics AX (formerly Axapta), today announced that $11B grocery chain and food processor H.E. Butt Grocery (H-E-B) has implemented Junction Solutions' Food & Beverage solution at three additional plants -- its Tortilla Plant and Bakery in Corpus Christi, and its Floral Processing Center in San Antonio, Texas, bringing the total of plants live to four.

Last year, the grocery chain announced it would standardize 11 of its plants located in Texas with Junction Solutions' Food & Beverage solution in order to consolidate some legacy systems into one integrated, multi-location, multi-lingual ERP solution. Since then, H-E-B has benefited from its long-term relationship with Junction Solutions by realizing improved efficiency in both production and distribution processes. Two more plants are scheduled to go live over the next few months including the Snack Plant in San Antonio and the Bakery Plants in Houston, to be followed by the dairy and meat processing facilities.

"We are extremely pleased with the progress of the rollout of Junction Solutions' Food & Beverage solution," said Linda Espino, Dynamics AX Project Business Leader at H-E-B. "Our team's effort combined with Junction's consulting organization has provided results that are nothing short of outstanding."

"The implementation process at H-E-B has gone very well to date," said Nick Bova, Managing Director of Junction Solutions' Food & Beverage practice. "Due to its size and variety of processing capabilities, implementing at H-E-B is a compelling challenge for any software provider. We look forward to moving the rest of the plants to the platform."

Junction Solutions' industry-specific features extend Microsoft Dynamics AX full-featured ERP solution to handle food-specific needs such as: recipes, co-products, disassembly operations, lot costing, lot traceability, commodity pricing, variable grades and quality management. Junction Solutions assists its clients in attaining profitable growth with applications that improve business control, compliance and connectivity.
