The full story

Company-Wide Platform in the Cloud

Natal da Graça (CEO) and Henny Tadema (Owner) chose the cloud-based NetSuite ERP and CRM solution for its solid, future-proof automation capabilities that drive innovation and standardize processes. With outdated automation relying on multiple separate on-premise applications, Toorank faced time-consuming manual actions and increased room for error. NetSuite provides a comprehensive platform that supports all business processes, including account management, procurement, CRM, quality control, inventory, and production. Centralized information management from a uniform data model ensures reliability and consistency across all roles, offering reliable cost calculations and improved efficiency.

Specific Requirements of a Craft Drinks Producer

As a producer of alcoholic beverages, Toorank meets high standards from customers and stringent government regulations on quality and financial administration. To address these needs, FoodQloud offers Crafted ERP, a NetSuite add-on tailored for the beverage industry. Da Graça highlights that this add-on covers essential functionalities like excise duty administration, recipe management, and real-time insights into tank levels, production progress, and inventory. The organized NetSuite planning dashboards optimize production processes and the supply chain, enhancing predictability and control, and significantly improving customer satisfaction. With QA and QC capabilities of Crafted ERP and FoodQloud’s NetSuite apps, quality assurance is further strengthened, and tracking and tracing services are made faster and more reliable.

“We can monitor production run margins in real-time, eliminating time-consuming manual calculations. Uniform KPIs provide accurate measurements and clear goals, enabling us to track and achieve desired growth.”

– Natal da Graça (CEO Toorank International Spirits)

Increased Efficiency and Insight

To make strategic choices that enable growth, insight into process performance, finances, suppliers, customers, and employees is crucial. NetSuite provides this insight through the integrated BI tool SuiteAnalytics. CEO Da Graça particularly values the dynamic financial reports: “We can track all completed transactions in real-time, allowing us to monitor margins of production runs directly. Currently, these calculations are done manually and retrospectively through Excel, which is very time-consuming. Uniform KPIs eliminate ambiguous interpretations, providing accurate measurements and goals to achieve and track desired growth.”
