Christmas might be the most wonderful time of year for some, but for food manufacturers and distributors, it’s often a time of stress, disruption and delays.

While Christmas is busy and unpredictable for food retailers, it’s also a chance to boost profits. Whether you’re manufacturing baked goods, dairy products or confectionary, demand for both seasonal and everyday items ramps up during the festive period – bringing more opportunities, but also more pressure. 

Christmas comes around every year, so finding a better way to handle the season doesn’t need to be overwhelming. If Christmas 2025 felt like a whirlwind just to keep up, now’s the time to make Christmas 2026 something to look forward to. 

The difference between a great and a bad ERP implementation is like night and day.

When an ERP implementation is done well, teams get the clarity they need, processes become smoother, and the whole business gains the confidence to grow. Ultimately, this means customers get a better experience.

On the other hand, a poor implementation that drags on, costs more than expected and loses direction can leave a sour note. Whether it’s a lack of industry specialism from your ERP partner, unclear expectations or too many moving parts, unwanted surprises are the last things distributors need – especially when margins are tight and operations rely on time-critical workflows.

Thankfully, there’s an easier route to ERP implementation, particularly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
