Amaro Foods is a Food and Beverage Manufacturing company in South Africa that specialises in creating and supplying a wide variety of baked products such as rolls, croissants, speciality breads, wraps and hot cross buns \u2013 the latter being a consistent recipient of the Hot Cross Bun Of The Year Award. Operating from Epping, Montague Gardens and Killarney Gardens in Cape Town, the company efficiently supplies Woolworths stores nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amaro Foods\u2019 internal ICT team faced significant challenges in its ICT infrastructure. The reliance on expensive laptops strained the company’s budget, and the skill gap among employees in using these devices led to reduced productivity and potential security risks. Additionally, the bakery environment, with its dust and other particulates, threatened the longevity and performance of their ICT equipment. These challenges necessitated a robust solution to streamline operations while being cost-effective and environmentally resilient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In May 2022, Amaro Foods initiated a partnership with Netsurit. The engagement aimed to enhance the ICT data acquisition and information display devices with a focus on integrating tablet devices managed through Microsoft Intune. This strategic move was driven by the need to find a cost-effective alternative to laptops, enhance operational efficiency, and tailor the ICT infrastructure to the unique demands of a bakery environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Orrin Klopper, CEO at Netsurit, commented, \u201cWe understand that each client has unique needs and challenges. For Amaro Foods, it wasn’t just about upgrading their ICT infrastructure but crafting a solution resonating with a Manufacturing company\u2019s distinct demands. Our approach with Amaro Foods was to provide a seamless integration of tablet devices managed through Microsoft Intune, which not only enhanced their operational efficiency but also aligned with their specific environmental needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results & Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wouter Nel, ICT Manager at Amaro Foods commented, \u201cThis partnership between Netsurit and our ICT team has been a game-changer for Amaro Foods. Their tailored approach to our unique needs has streamlined our operations and significantly reduced our ICT costs. The transition to tablet-based systems managed through Microsoft Intune was seamless, with immediate benefits. We’ve seen a remarkable improvement in operational efficiency and employee productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Utilising tablets with Android operating systems greatly assists our younger staff, who by default already have a very good understanding of how to use and navigate these devices, resulting in quicker deployment and less training cost and time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The implementation of Netsurit’s solution brought transformative changes to Amaro Foods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe successful tag-team effort in implementing these tech solutions for Amaro Foods is a prime example of Netsurit’s and our ICT team’s dedication to transformative technology solutions. We didn’t just replace laptops with tablets; we opened a new realm of efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental resilience for Amaro Foods. Looking ahead, we are excited about the future of this partnership,\u201d Mr Nel concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
