Vitaminka’s Digital Transformation with Dynamics 365 F&O and Axapta Masters

In the competitive landscape of the Food Industry, Macedonian giant Vitaminka sought to maintain its leadership by embracing Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (D365FO). With a rich history spanning over 66 years, Vitaminka is synonymous with quality, innovation, and a commitment to satisfying the diverse tastes of its consumers.

Vitaminka boasts a diverse product range, spanning over 400 packages in 20 categories manufactured across three main factories. With a presence in more than 30 countries and financial sales realization exceeding 60 million EUR, Vitaminka stands as one of the top 100 Macedonian exporters.

Challenges:

As the company expanded, challenges arose in production visibility, real-time tracking, and maintaining quality assurance. The complexity of managing multiple production lines, warehouses, and laboratories required a comprehensive solution.

Digital Transformation Journey:

To overcome these challenges and optimize operations, Vitaminka chose Axapta Masters as their partner for a complete technological transformation. The decision to invest in D365FO was driven by the need for real-time visibility, enhanced production planning, and robust cybersecurity.
