Growing Hors d'Oeuvre Company Selects Parity to Address Information System Needs
April 24, 2007, Bothell, Wash. - Gourmet Kitchen has selected Parity Corporation as their partner in addressing business process and information system needs.
After a systematic analysis of Gourmet Kitchen's business processes, growth requirements, and budget considerations, Parity proposed a 4 phase plan designed to address immediate core requirements. At the same time, Parity will lay the foundation for Gourmet Kitchen to expand the depth of information and functionality covered by their system as the company grows.
Parity's inventory, sales management, financial accounting, and customized business intelligence solutions are the strategic components utilized in Phase 1. Together, these solutions drive improved customer service, establish finished goods inventory control from orders through product distribution, and provide up-to-the-minute inventory and order data to better support sales efforts.
"Through our discussions with Gourmet Kitchen, we discovered that the ability to quickly fulfill customer orders at any time is at the center of everything they do and differentiates their business from the competition. The solutions implemented in Phase 1 support this ongoing mission while also addressing cost control and lot tracing compliance as they continue to grow,"said Tom Williams, President of Parity Corporation.
Phases 2 through 4 integrate all strategic business processes and business information, covering the entire spectrum from orders received to customer payment.
