Hunland automates with Adifo Software

Thousands of calves and bulls are bred on the Hungarian companies of Jos Janssen. The young company Hunland has grown fast. Adifo has been commissioned to automate the entire administration and logistics.

Who is Hunland Trade Kft?

After trading meat and livestock on the domestic market for two generations, Jos Janssen decided in 1988 to shift the focus of his operations to the international market.
In a matter of years he entered the markets of several Eastern European countries. He then decided to transfer the headquarters of his trading firm to Hungary. This country offered Janssens what he missed in The Netherlands: space and large-scale business opportunities.

So in 1992 Janssens and his Hungarian partner started a small import and export company for live stock and meat, called Hunland Trade Kft. It is situated inthe municipality of Bugyi, some 30 km south of Budapest.

In the mean time the company has grown into a leading export company in Europe, doing business in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Activities of Hunland Trade:

Import and export of live stock and meat (cows, pigs, lams). Own breeding plant, own slaughterhouse, own transport facilities.

Logistics and administration

The rapid expansion of the company forced Hunland Trade to abandon its manual administration and to look for a partner who could offer an automated administration and logistics solution, fit for their specific market. Through a Dutch business associate, owner Jos Janssen contacted Adifo at the end of 2004. The demand was clear: an integrated computer system for the entire administrative flow: from purchase, to stock, sales and invoicing and with the stress on traceability. Both consumers and the sector require clear information on the origin and history of food. A sound lot tracing administration offers Hunland a decent solution for their quality control. Moreover, it guarantees Hunland that all deliveries are also actually invoiced.

The project

The entire ERP-system of Adifo is operational since April 2005. The project offers the following functionality:

Lot tracing of traded animals and animals of own stock (earmark administration)

Follow-up of all logistic and financial trade activities
Costs and margin reporting per truck, per driver, animal, transaction, customer and supplier
Credit control (because of high risk business)
Slaughterhouse administration (also with batch tracking)
Automatic price calculation: integrate all possible price rules automatically

Hunland benefits highly from this automated administration. Efficiency is boosted. Information is directly available, enabling the management and the departments to take the right decision at the right time.
