Admiral West
For your bakery’s bottom line
Maybe it was Grandma’s cookie recipe that inspired you to open your dream bakery. But it takes a lot more than a soft, chewy cookie to build a successful business — and software is a key ingredient.
At Admiral West, we help great bakeries become great businesses. For 15 years, we’ve successfully transitioned bakeries from spreadsheets and disjointed software products to a fully integrated bakery management system.

Our Loyal Customers
A short list of a few of the customers we’ve served over the years
Driven by your success
Hear what our clients have to say about working with us.
With Admiral, we had a true partner – not just a vendor. I’ve had both. They earned our trust by doing the right thing repeatedly. Service relationships are never perfect, but in all cases, Admiral West acted with integrity and open lines of communication.
Jim Irwin, VP IS
Schwartz Brothers Bakery
Admiral Consulting Group was great at communicating right from the start, and consistently delivered as promised. The consultants understood and clearly documented our concerns during needs analysis. Admiral addressed every requirement in their deployment plan, and we were up and running in under 6 months.
Paul Lin, IT Director
Sweet Life Bakeries
Prior to having Admiral’s Microsoft Dynamics solution for bakeries, we were planning our production with a collection of disconnected Excel files and databases. Scheduling changes were difficult and sometimes inaccurate, which caused customer satisfaction problems. We now can accurately schedule our production in a few minutes instead of hours– and changes are easy, since all of the data is in one place.
Charlie Olson, Owner
Olson’s Baking
The Microsoft Dynamics GP solution instills confidence throughout the organization, from warehouse workers to senior management. When we produce reports, we know they are accurately reflecting our business, allowing us to use them to continuously improve efficiency with confidence.
Marc Flood, CIO
Fresh Start Bakeries
Taking people off of their regular duties to do this project was not an option for us. We had to squeeze this project into the margins of our jobs. Admiral understood this and made adjustments. They were extremely hands-on. We liked that we didn’t have to wait for responses from off-shore developers. Their expertise and flexibility were critical to our success.
Brian Tegen, CFO
Schwartz Brothers Bakery
We switched from a larger, national Dynamics VAR to Admiral a few years ago and have not looked back. Admiral’s responsiveness, knowledge, professionalism is first rate, and additionally they are flexible in ways that larger national firms simply cannot be.
