Junction Solutions, a leading provider of vertical market-specific on-premise and on-demand software applications and services for the food and beverage, multi-channel retail, and life sciences sectors, announced today it will implement Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 for King Arthur Flour to support the food company's strong growth.

Founded in 1790, King Arthur Flour is America's oldest flour company and premier baking resource, offering ingredients, mixes, tools, recipes, and educational opportunities to bakers. Headquartered in Norwich, Vermont, King Arthur Flour products are also available in supermarkets nationwide. The employee-owned company operates three core divisions: Wholesale, which provides flour, baking mixes and bulk flour to retailers, distributors and bakeries nationwide; Direct, which sells its baking tools, ingredients and proprietary products through the company's catalog, eCommerce and retail business; and Manufacturing, which manufactures more than 150 proprietary products through its dry mix blending facility.

King Arthur Flour has seen significant growth in the past five years and needed to replace multiple legacy systems to continue its growth track. The company selected Junction Solutions, with their deep food and beverage and multi-channel retail expertise, to implement Microsoft Dynamics AX to replace these legacy systems. King Arthur Flour has sophisticated customer support operations that include wholesale distribution to grocery stores requiring state of the art EDI and Trade Promotions Management, a direct-to-consumer call center, a retail store, and a B2C ecommerce website. King Arthur Flour also intends to optimize operations with Junction Solutions' Genetic Optimizer, an advanced production scheduling system.

"Junction Solutions demonstrated a clear understanding of the distinct challenges of the food business and the requirements we need to improve efficiency throughout our multiple channel sales operations," said Steve Cochran, vice president, Infrastructure, King Arthur Flour. "We expect that Dynamics AX and Junction Solutions will help us effectively manage our growth in the years ahead."

"We are delighted to add this leading CPG company to our large and growing base of food customers," said Christian Hutter, senior vice president, Manufacturing, Distribution, Junction Solutions. "King Arthur Flour selected the Microsoft Dynamics AX platform and Junction Solutions to support their rapid growth. We look forward to helping the company meet its strategic goals in not only improving operational performance and optimizing margins but also managing their growth more profitably."
