Johnsonville Tech Stack
No. 1 national sausage brand scaling manufacturing and supply chain operations
Johnsonville is a 3,500-person, privately held sausage manufacturer running SAP ERP across manufacturing, operations, and logistics. The company is actively implementing master data management and integrated business planning systems while tackling operational pain points around equipment uptime, forecasting accuracy, and cost control — typical scaling challenges for mid-market food producers. Hiring velocity is accelerating across manufacturing (25 open roles) and operations (16), with notably sparse engineering (6) and data (3) teams, reflecting a capital-and-process-heavy business model rather than software-first operations.
