Cornwall Sea Salt ERP System

Tender description

Cornish Sea Salt Company was set up to bridge the ancient and modern worlds. Production is still inspired by the original methods of harvesting the goodness of the ocean. Referencing century old techniques, took us on a journey around the world to source electrolytes from natural sea salts to enrich our brines, allowing the correct conditions for our sea salt flakes to form. We have an ever-evolving range of sea salts and blended sea salts, all with different textures, crystallised and hand-harvested to deliver the unique Cornish mineral profile that makes our flavour so distinctive. This would be one of the very few sea salt industries harvesting from open waters, more specifically the protected waters of the Atlantic lapping at the shores of The Lizard, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. From humble beginnings on the south Cornish coast, our sea salt has now become international selling in over 33 different countries. Our signature blue pots sit just as happily in Michelin-starred establishments as they do on the tables of home cooks who have an appreciation not only for taste and quality of artisan sea salt, but the exciting versatility and creativity it can bring to cooking Cornish Sea Salt Company are a growing organisation who looking to remove some of the complexities of running a Mamut based solution that has reached its end of life. We wish to improve cross business reporting and gain greater visibility of profitability around orders and departments. Running Mamut and excel does allows the business to work but does not offer a future proof solution going forwards and this ITT is to procure a suitably qualified supplier to address this challenge and specifically we are looking for operational improvements in both reporting and real time visibility of stock. Cornish Sea Salt Company are looking for a new business management solution that will help manage the core operations to the business removing the existing non supported systems as well as the manual process's that have grown up to support the business as they have evolved. The business is looking for a solution that is fully integrated and enables a single version of the truth covering all aspects of their operations from EDI to finance. A further key requirement is to implement a new system with as little impact upon the business as possible, for this reason we are suggesting a phased implementation, staging different aspects of the solution when the business is ready for it, such as mobile device for technical. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project.
