Candy and confections are some of the most complex products, with significant product lists.
We see many reworks, commingled ingredients and detailed ingredient requirements at our clients’ candy-producing facilities.
We have built our lot tracing and warehouse management software with your candy and confection challenges in mind.
Challenges in Candy Manufacturing Process
Warehouse Management
Keep ingredients separate by checking them into specific locations across the warehouse. In addition, designate production staging areas as a part of the warehouse. It will give you real-time visibility into your inventory and increase efficiency.
Tracing for Candy Manufacturing
You can improve production efficiency by having your ingredients issue directly into a production run, tracking each process step. This will also give you insight into your inventory through the manufacturing process, allowing you to conduct lot tracing for your candy factory.
Integrated Labeling
When printers and scanners are linked directly to your inventory, you can check ingredients before issuing them into a product. The production software will allow the right ingredients to be used.
Sugar-Free Confectionery
Increasing health awareness and concerns about fitness have led to higher demand for sugar-free confectionery and luxury chocolate. This has impacted the industry, which has made its regulations more stringent and begun to source sustainable ingredients.
Acumatica Cloud ERP will help you to meet these demands. Manufacturers must manage multiple recipes, handle several ingredient inventories, and apply quality standards.
Bulk Ingredient Management
Monitor the number of bulk ingredients used in processing and formulation. As you process materials, watch how much is needed to fill orders so that you can get more of them and adjust future bulk orders.
Quality Checking
Create and customize quality checks for your facility and its materials. These checks should be mandatory, from pre-receipt through production.
