Posted on: November 11, 2016 | By: Craig Thompson | QAD Manufacturing, QAD Business Process

The food and beverage manufacturing industry is complex. There are many different product lines to keep track of and plenty of different manufacturing processes for each food item. Manufacturers must be able to constantly adjust to product updates, packaging changes and price adjustments as well as stay on top of their inventory management processes. Not every ERP system is cut out to handle to demands of the food and beverage industry, but QAD’s advanced ERP system was designed specifically with this industry in mind. Below are three major reasons why QAD is perfect for the food and beverage industry.

Safety and Compliance

The food and beverage industry is held to very high standards when it comes to complying with safety regulations. Companies work their hardest to prevent foodborne illness and pass facility inspections and without an industry specific ERP system, maintaining these company standards gets tough. With QAD’s Quality Management System functionality, users can meet ongoing quality system requirements while sharing the data across the entire manufacturing and supply chain process. QAD also provides users with track, trace and recall abilities to let them track through serial and lot numbers to ensure excellent quality control.

Inventory Management

In the food and beverage industry, staying on top of your inventory is crucial for success. With QAD’s transportation management software users can optimize shipments by air, truck, train or parcel to ensure timely replenishment and quality control. By staying on top of your inventory levels, you can be certain that your customers are receiving the freshest products possible.

Demand Planning

Demand planning with QAD is simple. Based off of customer data to build and manage accurate forecasts, uncover seasonality and other customer buying patterns, you’ll never have to guess with customer demand again. Point of sale data and store level data are automatically tracked within your ERP system so that you are able to access future analytics and real time data.
