Food and beverage manufacturing

ERP for food and beverage manufacturing

Recipes, batches, shelf life, and traceability need to work in the same system as finance, warehousing, and sales. Business Central connects production from raw material to finished goods—without separate spreadsheets or manual reconciliation.

What a food manufacturing ERP must solve

A generic production order is not enough. A food producer must be able to prove what went into a batch, where it is, and who received it.

Recipes, yield, and production cost

The recipe and production batch connect ingredients, packaging, labour, and actual yield. Variance reaches the production cost instead of being discovered at month-end.

Batches and end-to-end traceability

An ingredient lot is linked to the production batch and shipment. When needed, you can trace both ways in minutes—from supplier to finished product and from customer back to raw material.

Shelf life and FEFO

Expiry dates travel with the batch, and picking can prioritise stock that expires first. This reduces write-offs and the risk of shipping the wrong lot.

Quality control and recalls

Control points, blocked batches, and release decisions stay in the system. In a recall, the affected quantity and customers are immediately identifiable.

From supply chain to retail customer

Food manufacturing ERP must connect the factory, warehouse, regulatory requirements, and retail orders into one uninterrupted information flow.

EDI and retail-chain orders

Orders, dispatch advice, and invoices move automatically through Telema. Less manual entry means fewer quantity, price, and product-code errors.

Labels, excise, and reporting

Product, batch, and packaging data feed labels and required reports. Beverage operations can also connect the process to an excise warehouse.

Warehouse scanning

Scanners guide receiving, movements, picking, and stocktaking. Batch and shelf-life rules are checked during the task, not later in the office.

Experience from real production

Saarioinen Eesti

A new Dynamics solution went live alongside a new factory and production lines. Purchase-warehouse scanning and automatic raw-material consumption posting were added later.

Liviko

The Dynamics solution has supported Liviko’s production and retail operations, excise warehouse, Telema 4doc exchange, BI4Dynamics reporting, and point-of-sale integrations.

Map your production from raw material to dispatch

We use your own recipes, batch rules, and order flow in discovery. The outcome is a concrete scope, not a generic manufacturing-software demo.
