BioMar, a global leader in sustainable aquaculture feed solutions, has deepened its partnership with Fortude, a global digital solutions provider, to transition its operations to the Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage platform. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in BioMar’s journey toward becoming an agile and digitised enterprise.
Operating with 17 production facilities worldwide, BioMar has successfully implemented the upgraded system in four countries, aligning its operations with global standards.
The partnership began last year when BioMar’s Vietnam facility transitioned its core business processes to the Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage platform. Following this success, similar rollouts were completed at the Norway facility, and implementation efforts are now underway at the Australia and UK plants.
Helle Scheelfeldt Lykkegaard, a representative from BioMar, highlighted the strategic importance of the collaboration:
“Our partnership with Fortude and the recent upgrades brings us a step closer to achieving our vision of an agile digital enterprise. In Fortude, we found an active partner with Infor M3 expertise, capable of guiding us on our cloud journey and aligning our business processes.”
The implementation of Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage allows BioMar to standardise its ERP system across regional plants, enabling seamless data comparability. This alignment empowers the leadership team with comprehensive visibility for improved decision-making. Additionally, the upgrade frees teams from repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on value-added activities.
The solution specifically addresses BioMar’s operational requirements, offering an end-to-end view of processes while minimising waste, which aligns with the company’s sustainability goals.
Janindu De Silva, Regional Chief Operating Officer for Europe and UK at Fortude, underscored the significance of the partnership:
“Having worked with other businesses in this industry, it was important for us to understand BioMar’s unique requirements and challenges. To drive growth, technology must not be siloed but integrated to enable complete organisational change. Working with BioMar has provided us with valuable insights into how companies worldwide are leveraging digital investments to achieve cohesion between solutions and operations.”
BioMar plans to build on these successful implementations to advance its vision of a streamlined and digitised global organisation. This partnership not only enhances operational efficiency but also strengthens BioMar’s commitment to sustainability and innovation within the aquaculture industry.
