A global leader in the premium spirits and winery industry collaborated with Nobl Q to modernize and re-engineer their JD Edwards Blend Module. Originally designed with limited features, the Blend Module lacked the sophistication to support high-volume, mixed-product environments. Through strategic re-engineering and an upgrade to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1, Nobl Q delivered a robust, tailored solution backed by long-term managed services.
