Lincolnshire, IL – October 29, 2007 - Junction Solutions, a provider of vertical industry focused enterprise software and services based on the Microsoft platform, today announced that SK Foods, a leading grower and processor of vegetable products for re-manufacturers, retail and foodservice marketers, has chosen JunctionF/B built on the Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP platform to streamline food processing processes, including quality control and supplier management, and improve control over financial operations. 

JunctionF/B addresses the critical needs of food & beverage processors such as consistent product quality, food safety and traceability, optimized manufacturing planning and inventory control, customer satisfaction and channel relationships, and product line profitability. JunctionF/B is built on Microsoft Dynamics AX, the most technologically advanced enterprise-scale ERP system available for manufacturers and distributors.

In addition, it is one of the largest certified producers of organic products. The product line ranges from tomato sauces, diced tomatoes, purees and pastes, to pasta sauces, salsas, green chiles, jalapenos, tomatillos and other formulated products. A full line of canning, glass and plastic packaging options for retail and foodservice are available in addition to packaging for industrial clients.

The initial phase of the implementation project will be focused on taking the system live for 170 concurrent users across two plants within 9 months.
