Leading Meat Manufacturer Leverages Technology to Better Manage Its Business to Sustain Long-term Success

East Moline, IL -- (SBWire) -- 04/20/2010 -- YASH Technologies, a leading technology services and outsourcing partner for global companies, today announced the successful “go-live” implementation of SAP® BusinessObjects™ solutions for Demakes Enterprises, a leading manufacturer of quality meat products.

Founded in 1914, Demakes Enterprises recognized the need for continual investment in infrastructure to sustain their long-term business success. Through the SAP BusinessObjects portfolio, SAP AG offers a broad set of tools and applications. As a midsized company, Demakes sought a leading solution that would allow them to compete more efficiently with larger competitors and have more insight into cost control, vendor management, and market trends. The meat manufacturing and distribution industry relies on tightly controlled profitability. So the elimination of manual processes in things like order entry or contract updates are key to successful growth.

“We have realized significant benefits from the integrations with best-of-breed, on-demand reports from SAP BusinessObjects solutions,” said Peter Katsos, director of IT, Demakes Enterprises. “YASH understood our business needs and has given us the ability to keep ahead of shifting business conditions with the consolidation of key reports and less reliance on Excel.”

The successful implementation of SAP BusinessObjects solutions at Demakes Enterprises included the following:
- SAP BusinessObjects Edge Business Intelligence (BI) software, standard package, which delivers flexible ad-hoc reporting, query and analysis tools via the web and will enable Demakes’ users to gain critical insight into their business for more confident decision-making
- SAP BusinessObjects Xcelsius® Dashboards Design software provides a high-level view of the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are tailored to their specific business requirements
- SAP Crystal Reports® software gives Demakes the ability to email reports and schedule reports off-hours, eliminating wait times
- SAP BusinessObjects Live Office software allows Demakes to access live data within Microsoft Office. Data can be imported directly from their ERP system in an accurate and secure manner. Updates of reports or presentations are available in real-time, maintaining the integrity of the data.

“It’s great to see companies such as Demakes Enterprises make the necessary investment in IT systems to help them achieve their next generation of growth,” said Jacinto Arauz, vice president of Sales for YASH Technologies. “Their investment in SAP BusinessObjects solutions in particular will offer Demakes long-term benefits and increase their competitive advantage in the marketplace.”
