With Solomon IV Associated Feed, founded in 1971, produces animal feed in both packaged and bulk forms, the latter being the biggest part of the business. Animal feed is a very competitive business, and AF has carved a niche by guarding the proven principles of quality and competitiveness.
Flexibility is a key concept in the feed manufacturing business.
When it comes to software, the package must be designed to allow for change. AF was unable to find a suitable vendor of vertical feed industry software. The decision was made to adopt a solid national package for core financials and distribution and customize as necessary to cover the needed feed industry functionality. A Solomon customer since 1994, Associated Feed converted to Solomon's version 4.21 in November 1999. In addition to General Ledger, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable modules, Associated Feed uses Cash Manager, Order Management and Inventory.
