More Than Gourmet Sauces Realize Lean Efficiencies

More Than Gourmet (MTG) is a Gourmet Sauce manufacturer with nearly $20 Million in annual sales. Located in Akron, Ohio the company faced many lean challenges from excessive paperwork and manual processing to lack of visibility to inventory and customer data; there was no integration between manufacturing and warehousing operations.

More Than Gourmet is the only company today making classic French sauces in the old world tradition as defined by renowned Master Chef Auguste Escoffier (1846—1935). Many of the greatest chefs and finest restaurant operations in the world utilize More Than Gourmet’s classic French sauces in their recipes. More Than Gourmet offers a number of classic products including: Demi-Glace Gold®, Glace de Viande Gold™, and Veggie-Stock Gold™. Products are offered in both retail and wholesale sizes.

To overcome the lean challenges the sauce manufacturer implemented Enterprise 21 ERP (enterprise resource planning) by Technology Group International (TGI). When MTG purchased the ERP system, the company was booking $2 million in annual sales. Since that time the company has transformed into the premier provider of gourmet sauces and is recognized worldwide for it’s outstanding culinary achievements. The company not only quickly obtained their return on investment, the implementation of Enterprise 21 allowed the company to experience exponential growth over a short period of time without a corresponding growth in manpower to service that growth.
