COSTA MESA, Calif. - September 10, 2009 -SYSPRO, a provider of visionary ERP for the manufacturing pragmatist, has announced that its software is the foundation of a comprehensive product recall plan in place at Glenview, Ill.-based chocolate maker, Chocolate Potpourri.

Winner of numerous industry awards for its effective utilization of SYSPRO enterprise software, Chocolate Potpourri said it has established a product recall plan that fully leverages the extensive traceability and tracking capabilities inherent in SYSPRO software. Chocolate Potpourri's plan makes full use ofa these functionalities to trace product ingredients from origin, through the manufacturing process, to their ultimate destination, fully maintaining assurance certification and tracking expiration dates.

Using SYSPRO ERP queries, Chocolate Potpourri's recall team has the ability to locate the supplier of the suspect ingredients, the supplier production lots and the dates received. The team can call up the jobs to which the ingredients were issued, determine which customers had purchased the resulting products and issue a product recall, when required by governmental authorities.

According to Richard Gordon, president of Chocolate Potpourri, "SYSPRO ERP software not only enables us to compete successfully with the largest confectioners in the industry, but also to safeguard our customers and the public in the event of the recall of an ingredient."

Joey Benadretti, president of SYSPRO USA, adds, "SYSPRO has been on the forefront of providing greater visibility and control over quality and tracking in industries like medical devices, pharmaceuticals and food. In fact, SYSPRO software facilitates full compliance with the more stringent food recall standards being proposed by Congress."

SYSPRO's more thoughtful approach to adopting new technology also reflects the desires of its buyers who are driven by business needs and not by the latest headlines. This exemplifies SYSPRO's ongoing strategy of helping to simplify the success of its customers.
