The Challenge: Managing a Complex, Disconnected Operation

"What stood out about Enterpryze was finally having one system that could give us end-to-end control. That visibility and simplicity was a game changer." — Bryce Cunningham, Managing Director at Mossgiel Organic Dairy

Before implementing Enterpryze ERP, Mossgiel Organic Dairy faced a complex web of operational challenges stemming from their fragmented technology landscape:

🔗 Disconnected Systems Creating Data Chaos

• 11+ separate systems managed different parts of the business

• None of these systems communicated with each other, leading to inconsistent and conflicting data

• Critical information was siloed across departments

• The lack of visibility over operations made professionalizing the business extremely difficult

  
  

⏱️ Manual Processes Draining Resources

• Manual workflows created significant inefficiencies across all departments

• Time was wasted reformatting and duplicating data between systems

• Errors in intercompany stock transfers and invoicing were frequent

• Staff spent countless hours on administrative tasks instead of value-adding work

The Stakes Were High: Each arm of the business—farming, production, and retail—was impacted by these limitations. The fragmentation led to reactive decision-making and daily firefighting, preventing Mossgiel from professionalizing their operations and achieving their ambitious growth plans for their ethical, community-focused brand.

Key Takeaways for Food & Agriculture Leaders

If you're managing a vertically integrated food business or facing similar operational complexity, here are the key lessons from Mossgiel's transformation:
