Core Functionalities
Formula management – Maintain multi-level recipes with automatic yield scaling, allergen classification, and nutrition calculations; supports version control and what-if costing. Example: A dairy producer upsizes its Greek-yogurt batch from 5 kg to 12 kg; the system recalculates fat %, recalibrates culture quantities, and shows the new cost per kg instantly.
Batch attribute management – Record critical quality attributes (e.g., moisture, fat %) at batch receipt or production and enforce release rules through attribute-based reservation. Example: A meat processor blocks outgoing sales when an incoming batch’s E-coli test status is “Pending,” preventing accidental shipment. Shelf-life & FEFO inventory control – Calculate expiry dates in real time and drive first-expired-first-out picking to minimise write-offs; dashboard alerts for soon-to-expire stock. Example: Warehouse pickers are prompted to ship tomato purée that expires on 30 June before newer lots expiring in July.
Lot traceability & farm-to-fork genealogy – One-click forward/backward trace across raw ingredients and finished goods; simplifies recall audits. Example: After a supplier recall on sesame seeds, QA traces every hummus pallet that used the af ected lot within 2 seconds and emails customers.
Potency & yield costing – Adjust material requirements and cost roll-ups based on actual potency or solids content. Example: Chocolate production lowers cocoa powder input by 3 % when lab potency tests higher than the recipe baseline, preserving taste and cost.
Co-/by-product planning – Generate co-product demand automatically and settle costs proportionally or by market value. Example: Sunflower-oil extraction simultaneously creates meal; the meal’s sales value is credited back against oil production cost.
Integrated quality & batch inventory control – Embed QC sampling plans, COA generation, and non-conformance workflows directly in production postings. Example: A beverage plant automatically prints a COA PDF once pH and Brix test results hit the pass range and attaches it to the ASN.
