Control your stock, support your margins
Stock management becomes an even finer balancing act as your business grows. Shortfalls impede production and result in poor customer service, whereas surpluses tie cash up in stock. And it’s essential that the right ingredients are available at the right time to minimise wastage.
When stock & intake is linked real-time, the help of SI, means you will always have a visual on actual raw material levels.
Recipe management
As demand for your products grows, it’s time to eradicate manual procedures. Optimise production processes to increase efficiencies, improve product quality and overall consistency. If your business’ success means you’re now looking towards a higher level of automation, SI’s Recipe Formulation can transform production operations for bakeries and cake manufacturers.
By working with SI, your bakery and cake manufacturing operations can be transformed.
Right stock, right time
SI’s Bakery & cake manufacturing software doesn’t just verify that the right raw materials are added and issue instructions to produce the mix, as the batches are added, the software also keeps all stock information accurate, based on what’s been issued into the mix, and manages all ingredient tolerances.
Yield and waste management
As yield ultimately determines profit margin on fixed weight products, our software monitors yield in real-time.
By interrogating our yield and giveaway data capture, bakeries and cake manufacturers can analyse outcomes and fine-tune their processes, such as:
- minimising defects that are occurring during production, such as burnt or crumbly products,
- Generated by slicing and monitoring giveaway.
