Silver Spring Foods is the world’s largest horseradish producer, with products in popular convenience stores like Walmart and Kroger. In a competitive market, this food manufacturer must worry about demand, regulatory compliance, and quality assurance; the last thing on their minds was losing money to inventory variances. With $4 million in inventory, the company was once complacent about being off by $200,000 — $300,000 on physical inventory. 

That was before they discovered Deacom.

Knowing they were losing profits, Silver Spring Foods needed a change from the software they were currently using to a solution that would plug inventory leaks. 

Why Deacom?

Silver Spring Foods evaluated ERP options with a clear checklist:

  • Easy to use single platform
  • Ties customer service, accounting, manufacturing, purchasing, and shipping
  • Strong reporting and data mining
  • Configurable native functionality (to avoid heavy customization)
  • Reliable support  
  • Within budget 

Deacom stood out as the only solution that met those needs without extra bolt-on customizations. 

What changed after implementation?

FAQs

What were the before-and-after inventory variance figures (dollars and percentage) once Deacom was fully adopted?

Silver Spring Foods went from having a variance of up to $300,000 to about $1,000 on their $4 million inventory. 

How does Deacom maintain regulatory compliance and traceability for food manufacturing audits and recalls?

Deacom provides lot‑level traceability, audit trails, Certificate of Analysis generation, shelf‑life management, GHS/SDS label support, and recall reporting, features designed to simplify audits and speed recall response while preserving chain-of-custody details.

Can other batch/process manufacturers expect similar results, and what variables affect outcomes?

Many batch/process manufacturers can realize substantial improvements, but outcomes depend on starting data quality, SKU/lot complexity, multi‑site coordination, and commitment to process discipline. The webinar will discuss which variables most influence outcomes and how to assess fit for your business.

What common pitfalls should be avoided during ERP selection and implementation?

Key pitfalls include skipping data cleanup, under-resourcing training, relying on bolt‑on tools instead of native capabilities, poor stakeholder engagement, insufficient testing, and unclear success metrics. Silver Spring’s session will highlight the pitfalls they avoided (and any they encountered) and best practices to accelerate success.
