There in a Pinch for Smokey Mountain Snuf
When Dan Calandro joined Smokey Mountain Chew as CFO in January 1999, he discovered that a great product doesn’t automatically provide great margins.

Sage ERP X3 Keeps Blount Fine Foods Cooking
Blount Fine Foods switched to Sage ERP X3 in 2006 when it became apparent that its legacy system could not support the company’s growing operations. The previous system had limited process manufacturing capabilities so formulas, recipes, and work orders were managed in a Microsoft Access database. Compounding the problem, only a few people had the ability to access the data. The company evaluated several solutions, but found most to be overly complex with high maintenance and overhead costs. “We wanted a system that could manage our business, be installed easily, and was scalable,” adds Pitzer. “Sage ERP X3 meets all of our requirements. It offers strong process manufacturing capabilities, provides an integrated development environment, and comes at an attractive price point.”
