As a trusted distributor of premium baking ingredients serving bakeries and food manufacturers across Ontario, FE Ingredients has built a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and exceptional service. In January, with a critical audit scheduled for February, they urgently needed to modernize their entirely paper-based warehouse operations to meet stringent food safety certification requirements. The Client FE Ingredients is a leading distributor of high-quality baking ingredients, trusted by bakeries and food manufacturers throughout Ontario. With a strong focus on delivering premium products backed by reliable service, FE Ingredients relies on effective warehouse operations to maintain its reputation and meet customer expectations. The Challenge Facing a tight deadline, CEO Dave Iacobelli and CFO & IT lead Jay Capaldi recognized the immediate need for a robust digital solution. Warehouse managers Rado and Michael fully embraced the project, understanding that a quick shift from manual processes to a digital system was critical to meet food safety standards. Key requirements for the new system included: • Real-time inventory tracking • Accurate batch and lot traceability • Comprehensive audit reporting • Fast and efficient implementation The Solution GraniteWMS was selected for its proven success in food distribution, its user-friendly design, and its ability to be rapidly deployed. Within just four weeks, GraniteWMS transformed FE Ingredients’ warehouse from a paper-based environment to a fully digital, barcode-driven operation. GraniteWMS delivered: Real-Time Inventory Management: Immediate visibility of inventory status, stock locations, and batch numbers ensured full traceability and compliance. Simplified Compliance Reporting: Automated documentation and comprehensive reporting made audit preparation simple and effective. Easy Adoption and Flexibility: A user-friendly interface allowed for quick adoption by warehouse staff, minimizing disruption while ensuring integration with existing workflows and ERP systems. Throughout the process, GraniteWMS worked closely with FE Ingredients, providing hands-on support tailored to their specific needs. The Outcome Thanks to GraniteWMS, FE Ingredients passed their February food safety audit with an impressive score of 85% — the only deductions related to items handled before the WMS was implemented. Key benefits included: • Immediate Compliance: Successfully passed a critical audit just weeks after implementation. • Increased Efficiency: Eliminated manual errors, significantly reduced inventory discrepancies, and improved order fulfillment accuracy. • Enhanced Traceability: Real-time batch and lot tracking simplified recalls, reduced waste, and strengthened food safety practices. Conclusion GraniteWMS enabled FE Ingredients to rapidly achieve compliance and position itself for future growth. With a robust digital warehouse management system now in place, FE Ingredients is prepared to expand operations confidently and meet growing market demands with improved efficiency and agility. During a follow-up visit, the GraniteWMS team identified additional functionality to further enhance operations, demonstrating their commitment to ongoing support and continuous improvement. GraniteWMS continues to support FE Ingredients’ mission to deliver premium baking ingredients reliably and safely to customers across Ontario.

It can be easily integrated into an existing ERP, such as Sage 300, and allows for end-to-end traceability of stock items through labelling, scanning, and process visibility. GraniteWMS was implemented at Puregas in October 2018 through a phased implementation. FSL worked closely with GraniteWMS, which provided ongoing commitment to getting the system set up and running in the way that was needed. Due to the flexible nature of GraniteWMS, FSL Consulting was able to not only implement a standard warehouse management system but also able to build an automated rental system on top of it, using the data available from GraniteWMS. This was not just a standard warehousing solution. Rather than a static implementation, it is a constantly evolving site with new functionality continually being rolled out. In addition to the successful cylinder tracking for rentals, FSL is also in the process of assembly integration, which will be up and running soon. - [Perfecting a Process – A GraniteWMS Case Study at GSI](https://www.granitewms.com/2025/07/14/perfecting-a-process-a-granitewms-case-study-at-gsi/): With some basic training the staff had bought into the system and were using it comfortably within the week. This was a key lesson learned during the implementation process. Too often a top management decision is ‘dumped’ on employees. It is important to communicate with the team the reasons for the change so that they are not only aware of their role, but also buy-in to the new system as a whole. The buy-in for a system such as GraniteWMS is important as it requires a group effort to work effectively. It is also important as processes need to be strictly kept. Discipline needs to be enforced constantly to ensure no deviations from the process occur. - [The GraniteWMS Journey – Part 3: Outbound Stock Management](https://www.granitewms.com/2025/07/14/the-granitewms-journey-part-3-outbound-stock-management/): With GraniteWMS, there is an emphasis on barcode scanning at every step in the order fulfilment process, which makes outbound stock management simple and efficient. - [Case Study: Vertilux](https://www.granitewms.com/2025/06/10/case-study-vertilux/): GraniteWMS worked closely with Vertilux to integrate into their existing system. With minimal code modification GraniteWMS was able to enhance the functionality of the existing application, enabling better reports and organization of the inventory. GraniteWMS and the Vertilux custom application have now combined different functions and are able to work together as one entity. Vertilux first implemented it at their Miami warehouse in 2017. The project was initiated with roll out and implementation directly supervised by the GraniteWMS team. Throughout the implementation GraniteWMS worked with the Vertilux team to make sure the unique aspects of the business were accounted for. During this time GraniteWMS paid careful attention to how the business is set up and provided a flexible solution that could be adjusted to fit its specific needs. When first setting up GraniteWMS in the main warehouse a series of customizations were required to integrate the system with the existing internal setup. By working closely with Vertilux and listening to their needs, GraniteWMS was able to ensure all potential challenges were identified and adjusted for during implementation, making uptake and adjustment to the new system easier. - [Case Study: Quality Frozen Food](https://www.granitewms.com/2025/06/10/case-study-quality-frozen-food/): Quality Frozen Foods brought on PC Ware as SAGE consultants to help implement the ERP system. This enabled the digitization and centralization of most of the key business processes, but the system fell short of providing visibility of the day-to-day warehouse operations. After assessing the needs of Quality Frozen Foods for a warehouse management system, PC Ware suggested GraniteWMS as a solution that would meet all their requirements. Quality Frozen Foods was making a lot of changes all at once as the new ownership came in. This meant lots of projects were happening at the same time, but GraniteWMS had worked with PC Ware on previous projects and shown they could solve the necessary challenges and integrate well with the SAGE platform. - [Case Study: NYOrtho](https://www.granitewms.com/2025/06/10/case-study-nyortho/): GraniteWMS is a simple and easy-to-use application to run and monitor all warehouse processes. GraniteWMS uses barcode scanning as the key source of input for all processes. To ensure that the solution was deployed effectively at NYOrtho, the GraniteWMS team spent time on the ground during the transition and go-live doing the implementation and setup. - [Case Study: Freund’s Fish](https://www.granitewms.com/2025/06/10/case-study-freunds-fish/): Introduction – Growing on Tradition Freund’s Fish is a well-known presence in Brooklyn, they offer a wide variety of fresh kosher seafood to clientele throughout the Tri-state area and beyond.
