Oceanic Food Go Live witH The RIC Group WMS21/12/2020 Oceanic Food is proud to supply quality frozen seafood across the trusted Le Ocean, Oceanic, Le Patron, Tacoma and Carpentaria brands. Oceanic Food is customer focussed and has strict quality control. The implementation features an integration with SAP Business One.
The solution design, software deployment and staff training were undertaken mostly under constraints imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. To successfully achieve all key project milestones the The RIC Group utilised the adapted COVID-19 project methodology. When asked about project feedback, Victor from Oceanic Food said, “Going from a manual system to a digital system was challenging enough, but physically moving to a brand-new purpose-built warehouse and cold store utilizing 9 high, double deep pallet racking under COVID-19 just added to the complexity. However, with The RIC Group’s great project plan, remote assistance, understanding of our business process it all worked out and we have been using it everyday since Go Live. This has been great for our digital transformation.” The Supply Chain Solution is browser based which has allowed Oceanic Food to deploy DT Urovo 50 and Honeywell CK 65 Cold Storage RF devices for the receiving, putaway and label process. The next phase will be the picking and delivery process. The WMS has ensured the reduction in travel time and touches which has helped reduce operational costs.

The RIC Group's WMS TBO4 seamlessly connecting to Acumatica for FoodMaven. Read the case study here. An Open API being one of the key reasons FoodMaven selected Acumatica. Open API Key FoodMaven chose Acumatica for its inventory visibility, innovative pricing, and the software’s ability to connect easily to third-party applications such as its e-commerce software. It provided “the amount of flexibility we wanted and the pricing we needed,” says Lems. Acumatica’s pricing structure lets a company add short-term users, suppliers, and customers without paying for additional licenses. The cost is based on the features and resources used, not on the number of users who access the system. “The pricing was very attractive,” Lems says. “One of the things we have to consider is our strategy to become a national player. As we look across the locations we want to move into, we won’t have to worry about the number of users and budget for that.” “We love having Acumatica in the cloud,” he adds. “That means we don’t have to host it ourselves, have on-site hardware and redundant systems, or perform backups ourselves.” Lems was also impressed with Acumatica’s ability to seamlessly connect to third party applications it uses, such as the e-commerce application OroCommerce, Hubspot, WMS TBO4, and its home-grown delivery application. “Being able to make generic inquiries tie into specific APIs is super powerful,” he says. Jon Roskill from Acumatica speaks plainly about the software industry's dirty little secrets.
