Recent studies confirm that over 50% of food and beverage companies make mistakes anticipating demand, either wasting stock or losing sales.
Your software system should come equipped with the ability to manage stock efficiently, avoiding both spoilage and shortage. This data is then linked to sales order data to provide managers with critical information about stock levels, stock location (if applicable) and replenishing stock to optimum levels. This function saves time and money by providing data accuracy and efficiency.
Recipe Control

Also, units of measurements within the data can differ and the software must be able to handle conversions, as well as version control and formulas to ensure product and process consistency
Regulatory Compliance & Reporting
Food and beverage manufacturers have some of the strictest regulations in place in order to achieve certain levels of certification. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authority over more than 80% of the U.S. food supply. This statistic provides the evidence for the level of scrutiny and regulation that exists in this industry. In addition, it highlights the importance of having DairyPro solution that integrates and automates regulatory compliance.
