We process centrally more than 2.000 formulas for 11 plants. BESTMIX® means we can do this efficiently due to its huge database capacity and excellent multiblend and multiplant opportunities.

Following the global implementation of the BESTMIX® feed formulation software, we are now implementing BESTMIX® LIMS to manage, among other things, the NIR analyses from our different factories. BESTMIX® LIMS will allow us to evaluate this NIR data efficiently and use it to update the ingredient matrix of BESTMIX® feed formulation, resulting in a more accurate feed formulation and more added value for our customers.

Luciano Roppa, Vice President Feed Solutions Provimi

We have 7 feed plants in 4 countries (China, Korea, the Philippines and Vietnam) and use about 200 recipes. BESTMIX® Feed Formulation and BESTMIX® LIMS software ensure efficient and accurate formulations. The Multiperiod Multiblend module especially provides an optimum solution for purchasing amounts and positions, guaranteeing the best use of ingredients in different plants, and reducing our raw material costs.

We are more flexible than ever, now we’ve implemented BESTMIX® in almost all the countries in which we are active. If a production line closes down temporarily, this future-oriented program allows us to switch production to the nearest company. Which is why we will be implementing it in many more countries.

Bas Schutte, Formulation Manager

We use BESTMIX® to formulate about 1.600 formulas in 8 plants. BESTMIX saves us a lot of time due to its extensive multiblend functionality and its strong integration with ERP and production. BESTMIX® thinks ahead, as we can already generate Carbon Foot Print information and publish it on our labels as customer information. We will be using many more BESTMIX® functions in the future.

We use one central BESTMIX® to optimize more than 6000 formulas in 30 factories. Not only does it give us more and accurate information but also it allows us to communicate between different systems with different file structures.

The feed industry in Europe is being challenged continuously by new market developments and consolidation. Resource efficiency is a key success factor to keep ahead of the increasingly competitive market. It’s my personal experience that Adifo knows how to respond successfully to this business challenge.

Patrick Vanden Avenne, president of FEFAC

Our company has seen several mergers and acquisitions, so we are grateful Adifo’s software has helped us handle such considerable growth. It enables us to accurately manage our formulation and recipes at all times, even though we have almost 100 recipes and our production is spread over 11 facilities and 5 countries.

Zwanenberg Food Group is a prominent producer of deli meats and a leading producer and exporter of meat preserves. The advantage of BESTMIX® recipe management is that we use just one source for product developers, declarations and other users of recipes. This means we no longer ‘waste’ time registering in many software applications at many desks, and we avoid the risk of making mistakes in individual registrations.

As a leading supplier of animal feed, BU Hendrix supports cattle breeders in issues involving feed, stock raising knowledge and the application thereof. BU Hendrix comprises the following companies: Hendrix UTD, Hendrix Haeck, Hendrix Illesch, Stimulan / Pavo and Hendrix GmbH.

During the weekend of 3 and 4 March 2012, BU Hendrix made a successful switch from BESTMIX NPL (that ran in DOS) to BESTMIX® Windows.

Arnold Reichert, manager central formulation/project leader BESTMIX® Windows: “BESTMIX® is one of the most important applications for our company. The program is used by formulators (recipes), nutritionists (nutritional value), Blendix and wet feed specialists (client-specific optimisation) and advisers (ration optimisation). A total of around 180 users are involved. Over the past year, the members of the Hendrix project group worked together intensively and put a lot of work into preparing the project, setting up the new programme and training people so that the migration would run smoothly and without any hitches. Everything went completely according to plan.”

Jan Deprez,

BESTMIX® consultant at Adifo: “The project went very smoothly, thanks in part to the enthusiastic and constructive cooperation of the Hendrix project group under the skilful direction of Arnold. I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks for their professional input and I wish all the users much success withBESTMIX®”.
