Current Market Situation
Our clients, production and distribution companies in the food industry, are increasingly being forced to introduce innovations in their business processes. This pressure is being exerted from government, retail and consumers. Bottlenecks which arise in order to meet all these external requirements are eventually pushed back into the supply chain to the distribution or production companies. In this way they are forced into running an excellent operation, where the emphasis lies on setting up and streamlining the business processes in such a way that products can be delivered at the required greater quality, lower prices and stricter, demonstrable food safety. A direct consequence of this is the drop in the number of new A-brands which have been introduced in contrast to the rising number of new private label products. Besides the optimal streamlining of the business processes, one solution to achieve operational excellence is further automation of the business processes.
Expand Your Strengths
Generally speaking, just automating the business processes is not effective enough. By now all organizations have some form of automation in their business. The real benefits from automating the business processes are not just being able to meet all the external requirements, but more explicitly by excelling through expanding the strengths of your organization using automation and therefore acquiring a unique position in the market. In this way, despite the increasing pressure, you can allow your organization to grow or develop further.
Foodware: The Best Practices
We have successfully automated many Food & Beverage organizations and has therefore at its disposal not only a wealth of experience but also a wide range of specific functionality for Food & Beverage companies, fully integrated into Dynamics NAV. This functionality has been extensively tested and is used daily by a wide range of Food & Beverage companies. But, in the light of the continuous endeavor to achieve and improve the operational excellence of our customers, we have bundled the best practices into a standard sector specific software solution, Foodware®. Foodware is sold in additional modules of Dynamics NAV worldwide. In this way our clients can benefit continually from the newest standard ERP application which is fully orientated towards their sector. This is valid for the functionality as well as the technical areas, because, after all, Foodware is based on Dynamics NAV, so you benefit from the investment in development by the innovative software giant Microsoft. SI Foodware is seamlessly integrated with Dynamics NAV.
Advantages
- In the first place Foodware aims to provide optimal support for business processes as they occur in the Food & Beverage sector.
- Foodware is also under continuous development so that Food & Beverage organizations can continue to meet all the external requirements (compliance) set by governments, customers and consumers.
- Because of the combination of Foodware and Dynamics NAV, we can guarantee that you will only purchase the software you need. A complete application which is flexible and can grow with your company, and is adjustable to new developments in your organization and in the market.

- With our partners, we have developed pre-loaded Food & Beverage implementation models based on Foodware. By using these implementation models the time needed to complete the implementation is considerably shorter. Upgrading the software to a new version of Dynamics NAV also becomes simpler, because with SI Foodware there is no customization, but only standard software.

The Power Of Microsoft
Before you make that important decision to invest in any software package, it pays to know the people behind it and for how long they have been in business. Behind Foodware is Microsoft Dynamics™ NAV from Microsoft. Just in-case you have not heard of Microsoft, I will refresh your memory: Over a quarter a century ago, William (Bill) H. Gates founded Microsoft Corporation. Today, with Mr. Gates serving as its chairman, Microsoft remains the symbol of technological triumph, success, reliability and the worldwide leader in software services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential. Now you know who is behind Foodware.
