QAD Inc. (Nasdaq:QADA) (Nasdaq:QADB), a leading provider of flexible, cloud-based enterprise software and services for global manufacturing companies, today announced that Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of product through the global food supply chain, has named QAD to its 2019 FL100+ Top Software and Technology Providers list.
The annual FL100+ Top Software and Technology Providers listing serves as a resource guide of software and technology providers whose products and services are critical for companies in the global food and beverage supply chain.
“Whether you’re using sensors to monitor critical temperatures for perishables or a WMS to manage inventory flows in your warehouse, software and technology are playing a vital role in the food and beverage industry,” remarked John R. Yuva, editor for Food Logistics and its sister publication, Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “The transparency and safety of the digital global food supply chain would not exist without innovations in software and technology. Our FL100+ recipients help drive supply chain compliance and regulatory changes that benefit everyone from the farmer to the food processor to the consumer.”
With over 500 food and beverage manufacturing sites live in over 85 countries, QAD has a proven record of providing effective ERP (enterprise resource planning) for food and beverage manufacturers. QAD participates in the development of several key global industry standards, and works with customers in a number of development and industry groups. Knowledge gleaned from these initiatives lets QAD incorporate industry best practices into its QAD Adaptive ERP and QAD DynaSys Demand and Supply Chain Planning (DSCP) solutions to help food and beverage manufacturers readily adapt to challenges in meeting consumer demand, inventory and supply chain management, financial management and compliance needs in today’s global marketplace.
“It is a great honor for QAD to be included once again in this prestigious list of top providers,” said QAD Director, Consumer, Food & Beverage Markets Stephen Dombroski. “It is an extremely interesting and complex time for Food & Beverage manufacturing. The industry is in great flux and disruptions are complicating the supply chain. Traditional tactics, processes and strategies no longer meet the challenges of the Food & Beverage industry. QAD’s Adaptive ERP increases our customers agility, helping them to meet the new and developing requirements of the industry by combining advanced digital technologies and proven best practices.”
