SAGE X3 ERP FOR FOOD & BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING
Sage X3 ERP, ERP for food manufacturing, takes on the management challenges that come with being a food and beverage manufacturer, processor or distributor. Fill out customer orders, manage recipes, control inventory, plan and manage production, all while staying compliant with ever-changing government regulations.
What Challenges Do Food Manufacturers Face?
As a food and beverage processor or distributor, your company must effectively tackle the challenge of managing industry-specific requirements and legal mandates imposed on your business. Not only must you efficiently fill customer orders, manage recipes, control inventory and plan production in an increasingly competitive environment, but you must also deal with the multitude of complexities resulting from increasing government regulations.
Additionally, economic conditions have fueled rising costs that are difficult to pass on to consumers. To be successful, you must be exceptionally focused on operational excellence. You can’t afford any production errors, waste, spoilage, recalls, safety issues or other events that will adversely affect your business.
Addressing the Most Pressing Challenges
A food ERP software solution targets these challenges directly through industry-specific capabilities such as recipe management, quality control, regulatory compliance and lot tracking.
Here’s how it works:
Challenge: Compliance requirements and legal mandates.
Solution: An ERP solution designed for the food and beverage manufacturing industry, with governance features built in, makes compliance monitoring and reporting a natural part of doing business.
Challenge: A need for efficiency in fulfilling orders.
Solution: Automation features within a food ERP platform allow for quicker processing and order management, with less time required for manual data entry and reduced risk of human error.
Challenge: Recipe management demands.
Solution: A cloud-based ERP allows employees to access consistent recipe and formulation information from any location, ensuring standardization and quality while assisting with record-keeping.
Challenge: Inventory control needs
Solution: Modern ERP solutions allow visibility into inventory across warehouses, distribution centers and partner organizations. This level of oversight helps prevent excess stock and stock-outs.
Challenge: Intense competition.
Solution: Businesses with advanced ERP systems gain improved decision-making and planning capabilities, helping them stay one step ahead of less technologically advanced food production competitors.
