26th March 2024

Silver Fern Farms

Beef & Lamb Primal Processor
14 plants, New Zealand

Emydex customer from 2010 – 2024 (14 years)

“Silver Fern Farms congratulate Emydex on reaching this milestone of 20 years. The Emydex and Silver Fern Farms relationship started nearly 14 years ago, eventually developing to our first beef plant deployment of Emydex in 2021.

Emydex has shown it can provide greater traceability and process controls that are positive in meeting Silver Fern Farms needs over the longer term.

The relationship with Emydex has evolved as a true partnership over this time, as we work through our modernisation programme with them, and we are sure will continue to grow and evolve as we roll out the system to our other beef, lamb, and venison plants. We wish Emydex well for the decades to come.”

Canadian Fishing Company (Canfisco)

Seafood Processor, 4 plants, British Columbia, Canada

Emydex customer from 2017 – 2024 (7 years)

“We first started working with Emydex when we needed to retire a legacy system used to capture data on the plant floor. The processes were unique, and our new ERP system could not handle the complexity and the need to capture data in a fast-paced real time environment.

The Emydex Team has always had a solid understanding of our business processes, and the seafood industry. We’ve always felt like we “speak the same language”. We continue to work with them to automate data collection, and this is helping us streamline our business. They continue to deliver solutions faster and at a lower cost than typical ERP providers.

We are very pleased to congratulate Emydex for reaching the 20-year milestone and look forward to partnering with them for many more years to come.”
