As Glidepath grew, its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system didn't keep pace. The system lacked important functionality like the ability to disclose manufacturing variances, and was no longer supported by the vendor.

While looking for options, the company discovered M1 by B&G™ ERP software. As part of its due diligence, Glidepath viewed demos of M1 and another ERP system, as well as visited companies in Auckland using those software systems. M1 emerged as the more flexible, user-friendly solution.
