It gives us great pleasure to welcome Davison’s Canners & Puddings onboard as a new customer, Northern Ireland’s finest dessert manufacturer known in the industry for their scrumptious brand “Simply Puddings” from delightful sticky toffee puddings to an old time favourite bread and butter puddings.

The product range that Davison’s manufacture on site now includes a wide variety of hot eat desserts for retail and foodservice and a range of ingredients for further food manufacturing, such as sweet fruity jams, fruit compotes, sauces and bakery fillings.  They tell us that new product development drives their growth. They use only the finest ingredients, including fruit grown on their own orchards, and cook all their puddings, sauces and jams in small batches to ensure they are to the highest of quality. They match the quality of a homemade product.

From apple harvesting beginnings the Davison family have grown dramatically over the past forty years. With the product range diversifying and the factory and site facilities expanding and with this substantial growth came the need to digitize data collection and factory-based controls and this is where NOUVEM came into play.

We are delighted to be implementing their chosen multi-phase NOUVEM Food Production Software Solution throughout Davison’s state of the art AA* BRC certified factory facilities.

Davisons saw straight away that NOUVEM were a good fit to their own Company; they saw a long term partnership in the making.

Davison’s felt that the flexible approach which NOUVEM undertakes allows them to grow into the software as their own Company grows further.

It was also clear to the key decision makers from the demonstration and presentation processes that the system is very user friendly and easy to use.  They also saw that the quality of the system and the full traceability that the system allows was perfect for them.  All things considered Davisons calculated that the cost of the NOUVEM Food Production Software Solution represented good value.

The NOUVEM Software Solution will assist Davisons with everything from Order Management to Production Planning & Production Execution, Data Capture, Data Recording, Recipe Formulation, Recipe Batch Control, Stock Management right through to Dispatch; all software specifically designed for the food, meat, poultry and fish processing industries.  Offering full traceability & HACCP compliance throughout the food production plant.

We really look forward to working with Davisons and will happily report on the success of this multi stage implementation of the NOUVEM Food Processing Software.  We are confident that our software solutions will support their rapid growth.

NOUVEM | Fish & Seafood Processing Software | Sleek implementation at Saltees Fish Processors 

The Company

Saltees Fish are family run fish wholesalers in Kilmore Quay, Wexford; in the South East of Ireland who have expanded considerably over the years exporting now to Spain, France, Belgium, Holland and Italy.  Saltees Fish wanted a system which was designed specifically for the Fish and Seafood Processing Industry but wanted it also to be customisable to match their own processes.

The Challenge

• To replace a legacy bespoke system that was no longer supported
• To deliver a modern food processing software solution, fit for purpose at Saltees but must also be used by other food processors to ensure the products continue to grow and improve
• To utilize and integrate with existing hardware (Weighing Scales, Label Printers, Scanners) and software (ERP) already on site as well supply new hardware
• To improve on existing system functionality without adding overhead or extra processing time.
• To maintain the “good bits” of the existing system which had been honed over many years

The Solution

NOUVEM | Factory Floor & Integrated Office Software Solutions for the Fish Processing Industry

• Improved efficiency in FMCG food processing facility
• Significant improvement on data reporting with NOUVEM advanced reports.
• Door to Door traceability with advanced labelling & scanning
• Streamlined order management; from placing of orders to dispatch
• Telesales; previous order history, quantities and pricing information being available
• Price Book Management
• Purchase Order Processing and Goods-In… including labelling of batches at intake – various labeling options for different countries… creating goods in documents which can be used to pay the boats for the product received, minus various deductions.
• Weighing & Labelling of catch weight product – labelling per boat in real time
• All labels (produced at goods in or production) contain a barcode which can be scanned at dispatch or further processing.
• Computerised aged stock control with “go back in time” capabilities, stock taking and stock reconciliation
• Product recall
• Computerised quality management
• Computerised document management including Shipping Documentation
• Accounts Integration, EDI
• Audit Compliance with GS1 Labelling and Traceability, EU Labelling Requirements and HACCP

The Outcome

Saltees Fish chose the NOUVEM food processing software to replace their existing system.  NOUVEM had a lot to live up to as the existing system worked very well for Saltees Fish and the system was tuned specifically for Saltees Fish over many years.  Shortly after beginning the implementation it became apparent that the standard NOUVEM Sales Order Processing was missing features specifically required for large scale fish wholesalers.  The missing features were not discovered during the sales process which is not unusual as its only following initial installation that the different departments really get to put the new software through its paces.  Presented with this challenge, new features were agreed with Saltees Fish and NOUVEM engineers set to work.  The Saltees Fish project team were a pleasure to work with.  They were fully engaged with the project and each department worked very hard putting multiple orders through NOUVEM during the testing phase.  Towards the end of the implementation phase, project manager Sian commented “I am actually going to miss this – it’s very satisfying work”  Saltees Fish then went on to become the first NOUVEM customer to go live without having anyone on site from NOUVEM during the implementation phase or during the go live changeover itself.  Saltees Fish continue to be a pleasure to work with and we look forward to playing our little part in the continued success of Saltees Fish.

Euro Farm Foods was established in 2001 by Michael and Agnes Fox.

It initially operated as a small local abattoir outside Duleek in County Meath supplying carcase beef and lamb to the local butcher trade and into the Dublin market.

The period 2002-2003 saw substantial investment by the owners, the result of which was the construction of a modern slaughter and production facility. The plant was granted a licence to export its products by the Department of Agriculture in early 2004. This began a period of expansion in throughput and personnel and the business grew rapidly over the next couple of years.

Since 2005 Euro Farm Foods has concentrated on the slaughter of cattle and the dispatch of carcase beef and offal products to their customers at home and abroad.

2012 / 2013 saw a major investment in the expansion of the business, with the construction of a new deboning hall, amenity block, additional chilling capacity and office space.

As an independently owned business, Euro Farm Foods has proven to be dynamic in response to the needs of their customers.
