(openPR) - Zurich (SUI), Breuberg (GER) Feb, 21 2008. – Odenwald-Früchte GmbH, manufacturer of fruit preserves, confiture and reduced-calorie fruit products decided to choose the product development application OS-PDM. The flexible solution of the Swiss software company Object Solutions has been adapted to the particular needs of Odenwald-Früchte. OS-PDM was the choice „because of its logical structure and flexibility”, according to Olaf Hoffmann, development manager at Odenwald-Früchte.

With a comprehensive material- and formula-administration and an easy-to-use declaration feature OS-PDM software represents the functional counterpart in the development department compared to the ERP-system in the production.
„Thanks to OS-PDM we are able to develop innovative fruit products faster and more flexible. Documentation according to food regulation requirements, especially for the traceability and specification, is supported by the system”, explains Hoffmann.

The former isolated applications based on Excel had been replaced by the product development-suite and was integrated with the existing SAP-System. Seamless work is enabled with less media disruption and less sources of error, thus Odenwald can offer more „Fruit to enjoy“.
