Bakery ingredient supplier with manufacturing, distribution, and foodservice operations
Dawn Foods is a manufacturing and distribution company serving bakeries across neighborhood shops, industrial operations, and retail foodservice channels. The tech stack is heavily SAP-centric (ECC, S/4HANA, FI/CO, WM, integration suite) paired with Salesforce for CRM and Oracle for planning — a mature enterprise-systems profile. The company is migrating from SAP ECC to S/4HANA while simultaneously addressing payroll process fragmentation and supply-chain cost pressures, suggesting an operational-efficiency push across finance and manufacturing operations.

Dawn Foods manufactures and distributes bakery ingredients and finished products to neighborhood bakeries, large-scale producers, supermarket in-store operations, and foodservice. Founded in 1920 and headquartered in Jackson, Michigan, the company operates across manufacturing, sales, logistics, and supply-chain roles across the United States and Europe (Netherlands, Germany, Romania, Poland, Mexico). Active projects span equipment renewal, production-line relocation, food safety and sustainability audits, and online ordering platform adoption. Hiring is accelerating across manufacturing (the largest active department), sales, operations, and logistics roles.
SAP is the core ERP backbone — SAP ECC (being replaced), SAP S/4HANA (adopting), plus SAP FI/CO for finance, SAP WM for warehouse management, and SAP integration suite for API/messaging infrastructure. Oracle is used for planning and budgeting.
Major initiatives include SAP S/4HANA migration, online ordering platform adoption, equipment renewal and production-line relocation, food safety and sustainability audits, and payroll process standardization across regions.
