Plukon food group: guided transfer to Google Workspace
The challenge
Plukon used an outdated version of Novell GroupWise. It was time to try something new.
The solution
Plukon implemented Google Workspace (previously G Suite) with the help of the Google Cloud Partner g-company. The first steps included mail and agenda. Multiple people received an Android smartphone to give Gmail a try.
”This was so successful, that it was an easy choice to transition to Google Workspace.”
Ray Mennink, IT Manager Plukon
Plukon employees are very pleased with Gmail’s extra storage capacity, of 30Gb per user.
About Plukon
Plukon Food Group has thirteen branches spread across the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium, including nine poultry slaughterhouses and four processing and packaging companies. With a weekly slaughter volume of over 6.8 million chickens, Plukon is one of the largest European players in the poultry meat market. The realised turnover amounted to 1.3 billion euros in 2014. Plukon employs approximately 4,100 people.
The brand Friki has existed since 1964, long before the Plukon Food Group had been established. Plukon delivers products to the retail channel under the brand Friki, in both the Netherlands and Germany.
In 1978, Friki merged with the poultry farm Bekebrede at Barneveld, which formed the PLUimvee KOmbinatie Nederland (Poultry Combination Netherlands), prompting the acronym Plukon. In 2010, the business unit tasked with sales of high-quality, sought-after products to clients in the food service and -industry became independent, under the name of Plukon convenience. This unit uses the brand Friki.
