Customer Profile

A family-owned business, Ken’s Foods was established in 1958 out of a restaurant called Ken’s Steak House in Framingham, Massachusetts. The restaurant became known for its delicious salad dressings, and today Ken’s Foods manufactures more than 300 products across its retail and service industry product lines.

Their Business Challenge

The Ken’s Foods leadership team realized that the company required a system with the capability to scale in line with its ongoing growth.

The Solution

Ken’s Foods evaluated several systems before selecting a fully integrated SYSPRO solution as the best fit for its business. The decision was based on SYSPRO’s features, functionality, modules, capability and user interface.

The Outcome

With the integrated SYSPRO solution, Ken’s Foods is able to slice and dice information, and this leads to recommendations for operational as well as strategic enhancements. With the previous system, this was difficult to achieve.

“As it is an integrated solution, SYSPRO allowed us to shift from just doing daily tasks to performing meaningful analytics so that we can measure our changes and see the results.”
– Art Sebastiano, Chief Information Officer, Ken’s Foods.

SYSPRO 8 Benefits to Customer

  • Ability to perform meaningful analytics, measure changes and see the results
  • A standard set of features that enable new employees to quickly make positive contributions to the company

Ken’s Foods’ legacy applications were not integrated; rather, the company had evolved into a situation of having multiple silo systems that were loosely tied together. There was a distinct need for a company and a solution that could handle its current volumes as well the future volumes anticipated with continued growth.

As an integrated solution, SYSPRO has allowed Ken’s Foods to shift from just doing daily tasks to performing meaningful analytics so that it can measure our changes and see the results. Ken’s Foods can now do analysis around where and how information is being consumed, what the associated costs are, and what improvements can be made. Additionally, the company is able to measure those changes and the results are quickly and easily accessible.

“Quite simply, SYSPRO is the purest food manufacturing product on the market.”
– Art Sebastiano, Chief Information Officer, Ken’s Foods.
