ERP Software

Manage recipes, production, inventory, costing, quality, and traceability in one connected ERP built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, configured for process manufacturing by Sabre Limited, helps food and beverage manufacturers manage key operational requirements, including:

  • Managing recipes, formulas, and production versions
  • Tracking ingredients and finished goods by lot or batch

  • Planning production around demand and material availability
  • Recording yields, waste, by-products, and actual production costs

A food and beverage manufacturer is a type of process manufacturer.

Using Business Central to connect purchasing, inventory, production, quality, sales, and financial reporting helps manufacturers maintain control from ingredient receiving through finished product delivery.
