“ Our new ERP system, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, will be the cornerstone of our digital transformation. For years, fragmented systems slowed us down. Now, we’ re unifying finance, manufacturing, logistics, and customer management into one platform, giving us real-time visibility and traceability,” Yianno Koumi, Head of Business Information, adds.“ For customers, this means faster, more accurate service. For our team, it frees time to focus on innovation instead of admin. Alongside ERP, we’ re embedding Manufacturing Execution Systems( MES) to digitize production lines, improving efficiency and quality. These investments allow us to scale responsibly while staying agile and customer focused.”
Thanks to such investments, Love Joes has been able to expand and flourish, but its innovation doesn’ t end there. To provide the very best products for its customers and partners, the company places great emphasis on its research and development processes. The outcomes? Always tasty.
“ Innovation drives our growth. We combine insights from trend reports, blending houses, and our own food safaris to anticipate what’ s next. We test bold ideas through limited time offers, like our Texas BBQ marinade, before rolling out successful products widely,” Nick Daniels, Head of Food Innovations and Strategic Partnerships, explains.“ Ultimately, our approach is about balance: bold flavors and fresh ideas but always guided by what our customers and their diners really want.”
People and partnerships
Of course, this product development wouldn’ t be possible without a robust supply chain. Love Joes prides itself on nurturing strong, closely collaborative supplier relationships to ensure that its high standards of quality, sustainability and ethics are maintained throughout the entirety of its network.
