From raw material to shelf, every batch traceable
From recipes and process manufacturing to quality inspection, from expiry-driven shipments to traceability; cloud ERP for food and beverage manufacturers.
A food manufacturer’s familiar pains, lasting answers
We move what lives on paper, in spreadsheets and in the warehouse keeper’s memory onto one record.
Products near expiry get forgotten in the warehouse
The warehouse keeper decides which batch goes first; expired goods either become waste or get shipped by mistake.
The expiry date is calculated from shelf life automatically. Consumption and shipping pick the batch with the nearest expiry first; an expired or blocked batch cannot be shipped.
A complaint comes in: which raw material batch?
Finding which flour, milk or sugar batch went into a faulty finished batch takes days.
Genealogy works both ways: from a finished batch to the raw material batches used, and from a raw material batch to the products it went into. Which customers received a faulty batch, in which shipment, shows on one screen.
Recipes and process values live on paper
Cooking temperature and time are written on a form; you notice a deviation only at the audit.
A process order is built from a master recipe and phases. Each phase has a target and lower/upper limits; the actual value is recorded at confirmation and out-of-range results are flagged. Yield is calculated for every order.
Raw material used before inspection
Raw material goes into production, and finished goods go out, before the lab result is in.
For materials under quality control, an inspection record is opened at goods receipt, production and shipment. Incoming goods wait in quality stock; a usage decision releases, blocks or scraps them.
Allergen and storage data is scattered
Allergens, storage conditions and certificates sit in label files and supplier emails.
The food field pack adds storage condition, allergens, halal and organic certification, packaging type, supplier lot reference and country of origin to the material card; without code.
From goods receipt to shipment, on one record
Each stage inherits the batch and cost of the one before.
- 01
Goods receipt
Batch, production date and expiry date are recorded at receipt.
- 02
Quality inspection
An inspection record opens; goods wait in quality stock until the usage decision.
- 03
Process manufacturing
The recipe is scaled to the order; phases are confirmed and raw material batches are consumed by date.
- 04
Finished batch
The expiry date of the batch produced is calculated from shelf life and written to the genealogy.
- 05
Shipment
The valid batch with the nearest expiry ships; e-waybill and e-invoice documents are generated.
What’s next for food
These capabilities are not in the product today; they are planned. Our customers’ needs set the order and timing — let’s talk in a demo.
Measurements and certificates of analysis
Measured results per characteristic at inspection, specification limits and a certificate of analysis (CoA) for the customer.
Allergen-aware scheduling
Cleaning time and production sequence between products with different allergens, taken into account by scheduling itself.
Catch weight
Tracking pieces and kilograms together; the right unit in both stock and invoice when weight varies from pack to pack.
The modules that come together for food
All run on the same record; when one updates, the others know instantly.
- Production PlanningRecipes, process orders, phase confirmation, yield and actual cost
- Quality ManagementInspection records, quality stock, usage decisions and supplier scores
- Procurement & InventoryGoods receipt with batch and expiry date, batch stock
- Warehouse ManagementWarehouse stock by batch, barcoded cartons and pallets, counting
- Sales & DistributionExpiry-ordered shipments, shipped batches, e-waybills and e-invoices
- Finance & AccountingEvery movement, scrap included, in accounting in the same transaction
What food manufacturers ask
The most frequent questions before a demo.
No. Shipping only picks batches that are neither expired nor blocked; if one is chosen by hand, the system rejects it. Removing expired goods from the warehouse is a separate, deliberate scrap transaction.
The batch trace screen lists the finished batches made from that raw material and which customer received each of them, in which shipment. You see whom to call without opening records one by one.
Yes. A process order is built from a master recipe that is scaled to the order quantity. Phases are confirmed one by one, raw material batches are consumed in expiry order, and yield is calculated from the quantity produced.
Yes. For each phase you define a target and lower/upper limits for parameters such as temperature and time. The actual value is recorded at confirmation; if it is out of range, production is not stopped but the record is flagged, so every out-of-range phase can be reviewed later.
Not for materials under quality control. At goods receipt and in production the quantity waits in quality stock and does not show as available. A usage decision releases, blocks or scraps it; scrap is posted to accounting in the same transaction.
Allergen information is kept on the material card today. Scheduling that accounts for cleaning time and sequence between products with different allergens is not available yet; it is on our roadmap.
