FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tyson Foods Selects Impact:ECS as its Enterprise Cost Management Solution
Tyson Foods, Inc. is one of the world’s leading meat
processors with fresh meat and further processing operations
for chicken, beef, and pork products. As part of the
company’s focus on improving cost performance, Tyson Foods
has signed an enterprise software licensing and professional
services agreement with 3C Software to implement the
Impact:ECS Enterprise Cost System at all of its processing
facilities in the U.S.
The “Manage by Variance” project team will deliver standard
and actual product costing tools for Tyson’s fresh and
further processing operations. Implementing Impact:ECS will
allow Tyson finance and accounting managers to perform
detailed variance analysis, calculate complex meat valuation
and yield metrics, and handle straight-forward tasks like
packaging and bill-of-materials management within one
system. The new installation will integrate with Tyson’s
existing ERP system, SAP, and its in-house developed
production system.
The adaptability of Impact:ECS coupled with the experience
of 3C Software’s consultants is what convinced Tyson that
Impact:ECS was the right choice. According to Craig Hart,
SVP, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer for Tyson
Foods, “3C Software provided us with the flexibility and
support to build a cost accounting system that met the
unique requirements of our business and provided us with a
valuable tool to enhance and measure process improvement.”
By adding Tyson Foods to its roster of clients, 3C Software
continues to demonstrate the need for detailed cost
management in the protein processing environment. “We are
excited to work with Tyson and establish our software as the
preferred choice for costing solutions throughout the meat
processing industry,” shared Matthew Smith, President and
CEO of 3C Software. “Our success in this vertical market
demonstrates what we’ve known for many years – the costing
solution is one that must be approached with flexibility in
mind. The generic, one-size-fits-all solutions found in ERP
systems will simply not deliver the kind of
operationally-focused cost and variance detail that is
needed in today’s competitive climate.”
