St David Dairy: "Makes your business smarter"

"One of the key focusses of the business is sourcing our milk from a single origin."

Started as a family business just five and a half years ago, the dairy is now producing over 80,000 litres a week, and has diversified its range to creams, buttermilks, yoghurt, cultured butter. Their quality product offering has landed it on the menus of the best restaurants in the city, supplying the top 100 restaurants and top 100 cafes in Victoria.

That level of growth hasn't come without challenges. “We had a system before that was probably alright for the first couple of years, but because our growth was so strong, we wanted to go to the next step". Knowing they needed a new system, St David Dairy embarked on a 3 month journey to find the right tools to expand the business and be able to service so many customers. After all, St David Dairy deliberately doesn't use sales reps - the people are the phone are the people making the milk and driving the trucks, which gives the customer service experience they are after.

"One of the things that did sway us is that a lot of our customers used Ordermentum."

Talking to customers, they realised a big advantage was to use the system they were already using to order from. This meant it was incredibly easy to roll out, they were used to the process, and already had a tool in the palm of their hands that meant they could quickly and easily click and order from. They investigated Ordermentum. "Our customers love the ease. They can get on their phones, tablet, computer, place and order and it's done. They can see the price, the units - it's like Uber."

From the business perspective, St David Dairy have needed a few modifications to suit their processes, which is all part of the package when working with Ordermentum "We joined as a team, together." 

Those processes included instant reporting, which as all run through Ordermentum to give live, automatic snapshots of all aspects of the business, which even includes the routes for the delivery trucks the next day. Everything is zoned so they know which trucks do which runs. Cashflow is another big area that has been totally streamlined, as customers pay via the platform. "It does improve our cashflow a lot. It's very healthy on a weekly basis now. Ordermentum is so simple, it gives us a snapshot of who has and hasn't paid right away."

Ordermentum can transform your business too. Just request a demo and see how.
