Pinty's Delicious Foods, a Canadian producer of fresh and frozen chicken products based in Burlington, Ontario, has launched the project "Golden Egg" to improve productivity by using business process management (BPM) software tools to boost its data analysis capabilities.

One of the key areas in the project will have a huge impact in the migration of reporting processes from a largely manual task using Excel spreadsheet into a fully automated process, according to Pinty's CIO Barry Hillier.

"If we can cut delays in this area our accountants and analysts will have more time scrutinising data and making business decisions rather than building reports," Hillier said.

Pinty's hopes to complete the project in seven weeks' time.

Established in 1943, Pinty's Delicious Foods provides a range of value-added fresh and frozen chicken products to the retail and foodservice industries. Pinty's Delicious Foods comprises three manufacturing facilities all centrally located in the heartland of Ontario's agricultural sector.
