Klein Karoo represents more than 800 local farmer members, and produces ostrich meat, leather and feathers.<\/p>\r\n<p>Klein Karoo supplies Ostrich meat, including the famous \u2018fan fillet\u2019 to the local South African market &#8211; as well as to a growing number of export markets including the UK, Denmark and Sweden. Here Klein Karoo\u2019s pre-grilled Ostrich meat is today available in five of the largest retailers in Europe.<\/p>\r\n<p>Klein Karoo were looking for a factory floor software solution to replace their existing production control systems and also requested a centralised enterprise system in order to maintain one \u201csingle version of the truth\u201d.<\/p>\r\n<p>The system they sought also needed to be agile and flexible so as to allow for scale and speed to incorporate business change such as acquisitions.<\/p>\r\n<p>Working in conjunction with a South African Industrial Engineering Company (iPlan Global), Klein Karoo invited Emydex to tender in July 2015, for a factory floor software solution to replace their existing production control systems that were deemed to be end-of-life. Klein Karoo sought to adopt a \u201cleapfrog\u201d strategy in the selection of their new software system i.e., a technological solution appropriate for 2016 and beyond.<\/p>\r\n<p>They also requested a centralised enterprise system in order to maintain one \u201csingle version of the truth\u201d. Finally, the system they sought needed to be agile and flexible so as to allow for scale and speed to incorporate business change such as acquisitions.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.emydex.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Emdyex-Client-Logo-Klein-Karoo.jpg\" alt=\"Emdyex Client Logo Klein Karoo\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"300\" width=\"400\" title=\"Emdyex Client Logo Klein Karoo\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\r\n<h6>\r\n\t\tWhat Klein Karoo Says\r\n\t<\/h6>\r\n\t<h4>&#8220;The operators at both Graaff-Reinet and Swellendam had a positive experience with Emydex.
