O'Hara's of Foxford, a 70-year family bakery, was held back by manual processes and legacy systems. Rubik replaced their order management infrastructure with Sage Intacct — delivering €250K in annual savings and a 7.6× ROI.
O'Hara's of Foxford is a renowned family-run bakery in Ireland, known for its high-quality baked goods and rich heritage spanning over 70 years. As a key player in the food manufacturing industry, the bakery has built a strong reputation for combining traditional recipes with modern innovation.
O'Hara's of Foxford faced significant operational inefficiencies due to reliance on a bespoke order management system, manual material resource planning (MRP) tools, and siloed finance software. The lack of integration between these systems limited access to critical data, creating bottlenecks in decision-making and slowing down business operations.
Additionally, the company relied on manual workarounds to bridge system gaps, leading to increased operational costs and inefficiencies. With a vision to modernise and scale, O'Hara's needed a clear digital transformation strategy to future-proof its business while maintaining its high standards of quality and service.
Rubik Technologies developed a comprehensive 10+ year digital transformation strategy tailored to O'Hara's growth ambitions. The first phase involved replacing the legacy order management system with Sage Intacct, a modern cloud-based solution that seamlessly integrates finance, resource planning, and production workflows.
Rubik led the full integration of Sage Intacct with O'Hara's existing manufacturing systems, ensuring smooth data flow across departments. By eliminating inefficiencies and automating manual processes, the team enabled O'Hara's to operate with greater agility and data-driven insights.
With Sage Intacct in place, O'Hara's Bakery significantly improved operational efficiency and cost management. The transition to cloud technology resulted in an annual saving of €250K in technology costs, while the automation of processes reduced manual work by 90% — allowing employees to focus on higher-value tasks.
The company gained real-time access to financial and operational data, enhancing decision-making and business scalability. With a solid digital foundation, O'Hara's is now positioned for continued growth, leveraging technology to drive productivity and innovation — delivering a 7.6× return on investment.
