Software

Today, many people in the Baking and Food Industries are only too aware that they face many challenges:

• Escalating costs year on year
• More and more pressure is being placed on selling price and margins
• Complex and restricting EU directives, including QUIDs, packaging and other legislation
• Different and incompatible computer systems
• Little or no management and user reporting

To address this, we have asked our customers and prospective customers: “What would you like from your I.T. system”? The general response can be broken down into the following categories:

• It must cover the complete production & sales cycles
• It must be user friendly and intuitive
• It must be flexible for the different types of business requirements
• It must provide industry standardisation
• It must be fully integrated and efficient to reduce data-input workload
• The system must adapt to meet the changing needs or our business and customers
• Finally we need a reliable after sales service and support service

By responding to and exceeding these demands we can provide the market leading systems we offer today. Our CERES software solution offers a complete suite of modules specifically designed to fulfil the needs of the Baking and Food Manufacturing Industries.

Order processing can be handled by a number of ways, including direct entry, EDI and e-commerce solutions. Web-based order entry can also allow your customers to place their orders over the internet.

Fully integrated financial facilities, including Sales, Nominal and Purchase ledgers, along with Purchase Order Processing and Cash Book options allow for easy management of accounts. Management reports allow full and clear delivery of all accounting information.

Stock and Production Control, along with traceability and full inter-departmental reconciliation are also offered. Reporting and data-interrogation have never been easier with exhaustive and flexible reporting features, fully compatible with DB2, ODBC and DAO. This ensures all facets of your business can be tracked and controlled to your requirements.

Utilising the power of the IBM iSeries Server, all modules can be accessed from multiple hardware platforms, including PCs, cutting edge wireless devices such as Pocket PCs and Thin Clients. This, along with VPN , internet and dial-up data connections, allows for effective collaboration between different sites and areas of your business.
