Ready for Streamlined Fresh Food Operations

Grower Accounting

The challenge

If you’re a business working with fresh produce, you know it’s typical to receive goods from a supplier without a fixed purchase price. Determining what to pay your supplier can quickly become a challenge due to product variability.

The solution

Grower settlement calculations are done automatically and allow for flexible cost assignments with the ability to prepay and handle different commission settings. Plus, you can easily price produce leveraging the integrated grade-out/pack-out methodology.

Certification Tracking

The challenge

Tracking producer, grower and vendor certificates is crucial for compliance in the fresh produce industry. Amidst growing demands for traceability and transparency, it's more important than ever to ensure proper tracking and assignment of certifications.

The solution

Track producer, grower and vendor certificates at every step of the supply chain directly within the solution and assign valid certificates to each lot. Even in lots where ingredients are mixed together, trace certificates from grower to finished product.

Traceability

The challenge

How do you comply with ever-changing food safety regulations, pass mock traceability audits for larger retailers and ensure overall food safety without forfeiting efficiency?

The solution

With software designed for your challenges—that’s how. Our food software includes advanced traceability, recall and preventative functionality to set you up for success.

Quality

The challenge

Without the right tools to help you control processes, it can seem impossible to adhere to strict regulations, package requirements and food safety standards.

The solution

Set up mandatory quality audits and scoresheets at every step of the production cycle—and take the guesswork out of product consistency, integrity and safety.

Reporting & Analytics

The challenge

Manual spreadsheet-based reporting has a long list of drawbacks and often results in you burning time looking for data instead of gleaning actionable insights.

The solution

With our analytics tools, you can create robust, customisable reports—empowering you to make smarter, more accurate decisions across your business.

Manufacturing & Production

The challenge

Your production operation has many moving parts—from R&D and costing to planning and batch processing. It can be tough to keep track and remain in control.

The solution

With our specialised features, you can manage it all quickly and simply. Boosting efficiency in every step of production, from R&D and costing to planning and batch processing.

Warehousing & Inventory

The challenge

Flawed inventory management and warehousing processes can lead to huge losses. From write-offs to excess waste, without the right tools, your bottom line can really suffer.

The solution

Enter Aptean. Our software solutions help you manage picks, putaways, packing and shipping to keep track of inventory and streamline processes. Ultimately, saving you money.

Contract Manufacturing

The challenge

Demand exceeds what you can produce; engaging a contract manufacturer becomes more attractive. You worry that your product quality will suffer; tracking your products becomes more challenging.

The solution

Our ERP system allows you to continue tracking and tracing your full supply chain end-to-end – even when using a contract manufacturer. Enact inspection statuses when you receive product back and even access key operational metrics across 500+ KPIs.

Product Pricing

The challenge

Many generic ERP solutions are limiting in their ability to accommodate pricing scenarios typically found in the food and beverage industry. And, if they can, they often need lots of workarounds, modules and add-ons just to get the basics done correctly.

The solution

Implement hierarchal pricing, use both percentage-based and dollar amount discounting schemes, differentiate discount setups by sell-to customer and ship-to address, and even use shipment date or requested/promised delivery date for price calculations.
