CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT & BUSINESS PROCESS

With increasing labor costs, new regulations coming every day, and new farming and wine making technologies and techniques available, mergers, acquisitions, divergers, and organization changes, it doesn’t take long for processes to become inefficient.

With a methodology based on Lean, we can help you implement a program and culture of Continuous Improvement across your operations. Our goal is to help your teams work safer, better and do what they do well, easier.

JD EDWARDS

Sick of talking to consultants who don’t know a grape from an olive, veraison from bud-break, pre-emergent from post-emergent, brix from acid? Are your teams tired of explaining that no, farming and winemaking aren’t manufacturing processes, they have variable and changing inputs, which are often outside of their control, and the outcomes can vary day-by-day, let alone year by year. We know wine and agriculture and we know JD Edwards; let us help you implement JDE the right way, the first time.

Azmera Helps Bell-Carter Streamline Operations Using JD Edwards Grower Management Software

Bell-Carter’s Field Department was relying on a 20-year-old home-grown system to track Growers, Orchards, Varieties, and Grower payments. Olive Growers are paid based on quantity delivered, variety, grade (size), and quality of the raw fruit.

What Customers are saying.

"Azmera is one of the few Consulting firms I have ever worked with who actually understands and gets how agriculture works.

Azmera's knowledge of how crops move from the farm to the processor enabled Azmera to very quickly create a high-level design that met our unique needs.

With only three months before harvest Azmera was able to convert that design into a working Grower System that streamlined our operations with virtually no impact to our business or growers. With Azmera we were able to spend valuable time discussing and creating a system that met our needs rather than educating them about how the agriculture system works."

Cody McCoy, Field Manager Bell-Carter Foods

What Customers are saying.

"Azmera continues to exceed our expectations resulting in us turning to them on more than one occasion to help with various special projects.

Our first project with Azmera was during the tail end of an ERP implementation. In addition to helping with project management, process mapping and training, they were able to refocus our internal implementation team and vendor to get our project and system back on track, helping to regain the lost confidence of our employees from the back office to the customer facing tasting rooms.

Our second project was at the front end of a new Business Intelligence tool implementation to help us get off to a great start when we were lacking internal project management capacity. Azmera provided project and vendor management along with business analysis expertise and guidance and successfully trained and transitioned those responsibilities to internal resources when capacity freed up.

I would highly recommend Azmera without hesitation."
