Food and Drink

Improve production scheduling for maximum productivity, sustained quality and rapid delivery.

Traceability, quality, regulatory compliance and rapid fulfillment are key features of Solarsoft ERP for the food and beverage industry. From bulk foodstuffs to short-cycle fresh produce, we help businesses supply major retailers, the catering trade and direct sales customers.

Solarsoft has been developing software for food and drink manufacturers since 1990. Our software is specifically designed to support the manufacture and distribution of chilled, frozen and ambient food products.

Key Benefits

  • Traceability of ingredients from origin to the final customer
  • Reduced materials consumption, less waste
  • Extended shelf-life with faster throughput
  • Better customer service and fewer errors and penalties
  • Accurate, real-time shop floor data collection
  • Greater visibility of operational performance

The majority of ERP products are designed for discrete manufacturing of engineered products. Our systems are designed, from the start, for process oriented production with recipe based materials management.

Specialist Features

For processors and packers of fresh and gourmet produce we have all the specialist features you'll need.

  • Consignment costing
  • "Day one for day one" order and delivery processing
  • Multiple product attributes and grades
  • Retailer-specific packing and catch-weight labeling
  • Industry-specific quality management

For the specialist niche of Whisky blending Solarsoft has a Whisky Workbench.  And there are tools for dairy, creameries and cheese makers who need to manage inventory that improves with age.

Hi-speed Order Management

Sales order processing via tele-sales, EDI or online is fast and effective with accurate pricing backed up by fully featured customer relationship management (CRM).

We support complex supply chains where orders are taken by a consolidator and goods shipped to the customer's RDC with invoices processed by the consolidator.

Export documentation is built-in, yielding significant savings compared to agents fees.

Streamlined Planning and Production

Fully graphical rough cut planning and scheduling with optimal balance between production lines will help you achieve improved capacity utilization.

With a BOM optimized for formulations and recipes and multiple units of measure, you'll find it easy to set up your products and production processes. By-products, co-products and unlimited product attributes mean that even difficult products can be accurately represented and costed.

Quality management is designed right into Tropos - no add-ons required.

Our technical experts can provide fully integrated shop floor data collection (SFDC) or SCADA hook up. For fresh produce the supply chain can be extended back into the field with field based data capture.

Full Compliance

Multi-level batch traceability is built in to our software with certification for FDA, FSIS, BRC and MHRA standards.

UK Customs & Excise duty calculations and controls on bonded goods subject to HMC&E regulations are supported in compliance with the statutory notices.
