Glanbia cheese and whey plants in Idaho and New Mexico take in over 20 million pounds of milk every day from farmer patrons, adding up to over 350 trucks of milk per day
companies. Already successfully partially integrated at Glanbia’s operations, the company is now working to implement the program across its divisions nationwide. As a cloud-based system, TMS can be accessed anywhere in the world through smartphones and tablets, allowing trucks to be routed and pickups to be requested from anywhere with an internet or LTE connection. Supplying analytics and KPIs, the program also doubles as a business intelligence suite to help
Glanbia optimize its processes and create new efficiencies. The TMS system will support the company’s SAP-designed CRM and ERP systems to provide a more holistic form of top shelf customer service, from materials suppliers to the end customer. “TMS eliminates the need to install and maintain many different facets of transportation systems,” said Andy Weisel, Executive, Procurement Center of Excellence. “It puts all the information in one source.” w w w. g l a n b i a . c o m
