Key Features for Food and Beverage Enterprises

When you’re dealing with large order volumes, multiple sites, international trade and large employee numbers, you need robust, specialized functionality that removes headaches. Here's what our solution delivers at the scale and depth you require.

Traceability

Full bidirectional traceability gives your teams the ability to track any material or ingredient forward and backward through the supply chain at lot level. In the event of a recall or audit, your operation can respond quickly and accurately with the complete documentation trail required.

Compliance

Operating across multiple countries means navigating a complex and shifting landscape of food safety regulations, labeling formats and health standards. Our solution keeps your business compliant in every market you serve with built-in tools for allergen management and regulatory monitoring that reduce the risk of costly stoppages or penalties.

Quality Control

Our solution’s quality controls are fully customizable. You can set trigger points for deviations outside acceptable ranges and enforce regular tests with automated reminders across your production environment. Results are analyzed and availability instantly, giving your quality teams the real-time visibility to act before issues escalate.

Inventory Management

Across multiple sites and warehouses, accurate inventory management is what keeps production running and customer commitments met. Flexible warehouse control tools optimize space utilization, improve stock accuracy and maximize throughput. Meanwhile, real-time data means your teams always have an accurate picture of what's available and where.

Cross-Border Trade Management

A multilingual interface, multi-currency support and inter-company functionality give large enterprises the infrastructure to operate confidently across markets. The solution also handles transportation requirements for cross-border trade including temperature and packaging requirements, as well as documentation for inter-company transactions.

Integration and Connectivity

 Our solution natively integrates with complementary Aptean solutions, including enterprise asset management (EAM), overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), product lifecycle management (PLM), transportation management software and more. That gives large enterprises a fully-fledged tech stack, while the Business Central platform provides connections to Microsoft tools.
