Krás

Written by Chief of Marketing | Jan 23, 2026 5:12:48 PM

Krás is one of Iceland’s leading producers of ready‑made meals and sushi, supplying major supermarkets, hospitals, and institutions nationwide. Known for their commitment to Icelandic ingredients, sustainable packaging, and high‑quality meals, Krás has earned a loyal customer base by delivering convenience without compromising on taste or freshness.

The Challenge

As Krás expanded—adding more dishes, increasing production, and serving a wider partner network—their existing processes began to feel stretched. Manual steps and scattered documentation couldn’t keep up with the pace.

Inventory visibility suffered, lot‑tracking demanded too much effort, and production teams were spending more time in systems than in the kitchen. Procurement and planning also lacked the real‑time clarity needed to stay ahead.

Krás needed a solution that simplified operations, restored efficiency, and supported production teams without adding administrative burden.

[Hi Denis, If it is possible, arranging a video like this from someone at Krás would also be helpful; but I am worried that it may incur additional costs like production on site.]

[Also, I saw in the Customer Success for Tokyo that Sigga already did that for Tokyo Sushi, so we may need to find someone else from the Manufacturing team to speak]

The Solution: FreshLot on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Working closely with Krás, Tenging implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, enhanced with FreshLot — Tenging’s specialized solution for food production, lot tracking, and warehouse operations.

FreshLot is built around the three workflows that matter most in food manufacturing:

Receiving

Freshlot transforms the receiving process into a fast, reliable entry point for all inventory data. Incoming goods are registered instantly, lot numbers are captured without manual effort, and labels print on the spot —creating a seamless flow of accurate information right from the start. By ensuring every item is traceable from receipt to the sales floor, Krás gains stronger quality assurance and fewer delays in production.

Production

In production, FreshLot brings clarity and efficiency to every batch. Lot numbers (both vendor-supplied and internal) are scanned in seconds, expiration dates are controlled with precision, and ingredient usage becomes fully transparent. This allows production teams to maintain consistency and compliance while dramatically reducing the administrative weight that previously slowed them down.

Stock Requesting & Counting

FreshLot also strengthens replenishment and stock oversight. Teams can easily request items from production, monitor real-time stock levels, and track secondary products without guesswork. With timely, accurate data feeding directly into procurement and planning, Krás operates with confidence; ensuring that the right ingredients and products are available exactly when they're needed.

All of this runs on environment‑proof, production‑floor‑ready hardware designed for fast scanning, quick interactions, and minimal friction — keeping staff focused on preparing great food, not navigating systems.

The Result

With FreshLot, Krás gained:

Clearer inventory tracking
More accurate procurement decisions
Faster production flows
Better traceability and compliance
Reduced manual data entry
A calmer, more predictable daily operation

Most importantly, staff no longer feel that systems slow them down. FreshLot stays in the background — supporting the work, not interrupting it.

Because when you're producing high quality food, you focus on what's in front of you.

Not on screens.

Not on admin.

''Although it was vital to simplify and customize the user interface across all staff-facing applications and reduce order processing time – by tweaking out-of-the-box LS Retail solutions to fulfil the requirements, Tenging has exceeded our expectations'', says Scott Lawson, VP of IT & Digital Transformation.
