Aptean, a provider of industry-specific enterprise software, announced the launch of its Foundation Bundle for Food and Beverage ERP in the Benelux market.

Developed specifically for small and mid-sized food and beverage companies (SMBs), the solution enables fast, cost-effective implementation and equips teams with the specialised tools they need to meet the complex demands of the industry.

With the growing demand for flexible, cloud-native ERP systems across the Benelux, SMBs are under increasing pressure to meet customer expectations—often from major retailers—while managing regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, traceability, and cost control. Aptean’s solution directly addresses these challenges and builds on the company’s strategic expansion in the region following key acquisitions, including Schouw Foodware 365, DIN Solutions, and Drink-IT.

Key Features of the Foundation Bundle

  • Delivered as a service, always up to date, and built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
  • Seamless integration with Office 365 and the broader Microsoft ecosystem
  • Industry-specific capabilities including advanced tracking and tracing, production, SSCC labelling, expiry management, and RF scanning
  • Optimised for rapid implementation with minimal disruption and an attractive financial model
  • Standardised functionality and implementation costs for predictable budgeting
  • Integrated with Microsoft’s AI Co-pilot for enhanced productivity

Strategic Benefits for SMBs

  • Speed and Efficiency: Rapid go-live enabled by a best-practice, template-based implementation
  • Cost Efficiency: Streamlined deployment reduces overhead and accelerates ROI
  • Scalability: Designed to grow alongside the business
  • Reliability: Supported by Aptean’s secure cloud infrastructure and robust cybersecurity protocols

“Small and mid-sized food and beverage businesses are under pressure to act quickly, stay compliant, and scale smartly without expanding their workforce at the same pace,” said Joris Kolff, Regional Sales Director, Food and Beverage, Aptean. “Our new Foundation Bundle is a game-changer—combining deep industry functionality with rapid deployment and cost efficiency. It’s built to help businesses hit the ground running and grow with confidence.”
