Specific Solutions by Branch

                               

Due to our dedicated focus on the Food & Beverage market, we have divided the market in several branches because every branch has other features and specific automation questions. On the base of those features and questions, we have developed branch specific solutions in order to meet the accounting and data integration needs of the Foods industry.

Fruits & Vegetables

Based on knowledge and experience of business processes within the Fruit & Vegetable sector we have developed a Fruit & Vegetable solution. This solution contains a wide range of manufacturing, goods order, and sales data specific to the Fruit & Vegetable sector, such as account data retrieval, communication with clients and wide array of invoicing options. A unique aspect of this Fruit & Vegetable solution is that everything is centered on the lot administration. Within the fruit & vegetable solution specific functionality for the Fruit & Vegetable sector has been added for various parts of the business. Thus, this system fits the business processes in the Fruit & Vegetable sector seamlessly. The Microsoft Foodware software solution allows a fully integrated application of data processing and merger of accounting information in an orderly fashion.

Bread and Confectionery

The production of high-quality bread & confectionery products is the main goal of management in any success driven organization. It is important to have the right management information at the right time and to be able to make viable and proactive decisions quickly. An example of such a situation is being able to calculate the consequences of a change in the recipe. Besides the sector specific solution for recipe management, this Microsoft Foodware software has also developed solutions for other issues such as ingredient declarations and various quality control systems.

Fish

Limiting the weight loss when cleaning fish is a typical problem with which the sea food sector continues to struggle. In addition, it is not only interesting to know exactly what enters and leaves the organization, but what is particularly of interest is the turnover rate. Another characteristic of this sector is the immense variety of customer specific products; each client has its own specific packaging requirements, and they also have their own standard weights and type of processing. With sector specific solutions, insight can easily be gained into the filleting and weight losses and the consequences of these on cost price calculations; which in turn translate to considerable efficiency improvements with the aid of automated control systems and solutions offered by the Microsoft food software. The Microsoft food software creates a bridge for the Fish and Sea Food industry, in order to traverse the rough waters of regulations and consumer tastes and demands.

Meat

The meat industry sector has strict quality controls and regulations, especially in the area of Tracking & tracing, HACCP and BRC. Also, one of the main characteristics in this sector is the enormous diversity in the product range. Each retail and wholesale customer has its own requirements concerning the packaging, weight, and processing of the meat, which is related to the consumers demand for high quality, high grade, and safe meat products. This trend is also one of the main reasons that the Microsoft food software is customizable to the need of each client. Implementing automated systems in this sector requires not just a good understanding of technical and business management; it also requires thorough knowledge of the meat industry.

Sweets

This sector is confronted almost daily with new rules and regulations concerning tracking & tracing and HACCP. These written protocols are designed to guarantee food safety during the manufacturing of sweets. These rules and regulations have become so complicated that it is practically impossible to maintain an ongoing compliance with these regulations. The Microsoft food software offers various solutions to conform to the industry specific rules and regulations, so that products can be monitored in a simple manner, and the most recent rules and regulations in the area of tracking and traceability and food safety are met. Microsoft Food software solutions enable the sweets industry to conform to the rules and regulations, and at the same time offer the opportunity to optimize and streamline all your business processes, such as the processes involved in production planning, purchasing, sales, warehousing, and financial administration.

Cheese & Diary

In the cheese and dairy industry supplying the right type, age and quantity of a product is more complicated than with most other food industries. The main reason is that cheese reduces in size while it is being stored and processed. The sales department needs accurate records of the age of the cheeses in order to function optimally. The age does not just influence its weight; it also plays an important role in the cost calculation. For example, an older cheese most likely has been turned and coated more frequently, which increases the final cost of the cheese. Our sector specific food software solutions are successfully implemented at several organizations in the cheese/dairy sector, giving an accurate data on the final cost of the cheese and dairy product.

Other Food Industries

As well as fulfilling the IT needs of clients in the food industry, the Microsoft food software also serves clients in other industries. However, these organizations usually have some connection to the food industry, for example that their service or products are similar to the food industry, such as transport companies. In addition, organizations where the business processes show many similarities to the food industry, such as wholesalers of technical goods and Pharmaceutical companies.
