Tools & Solutions Dedicated To Food and Beverage
NoBlue, together with Fern and based in Oracle NetSuite provides tools and solutions for companies dedicated to Food and Beverage manufacturing and processing for their management and growth.
It is no secret that industry operates on notoriously thin margins. Ingredient prices, change frequently. So, without regular updates, you really have no idea about profitability at all.
When ingredients change, all recipes with that ingredient have to be updated instantly. The same goes for all recipe calculations, allergen labels and nutri-scores.
Traceability for safety and quality control. Traceability systems help firms isolate the source and extent of safety or quality control problems. This helps reduce the production and distribution of unsafe or poor-quality products, which in turn reduces the potential for bad publicity, liability, and recalls. The better and more precise the tracking system, the faster a producer can identify and resolve food safety or quality problems.
- Scale recipes without a calculator
- Generate calculated bills-of-materials
- Combine raw materials into detailed BoMs and start production.
- Make nutritional value labels
- F&B Edition considers ingredients and recipes to calculate the nutrients and Nutri-scores.
- Allergen management
Recipe control holds great significance, as it ensures that each batch of the end products that are prepared maintains the same consistency and quality levels. Food and beverage manufacturing businesses require the right tools to ensure that recipe control is handled properly. Manual methods are highly error-prone, and may often result in serious losses not just on the monetary front, but the image and reputation front as well.
Keep up with:
- Ever increasing customer expectations on value and safety.
- Stricter safety regulations and labelling requirements.
- Expansion of business and product types hinder visibility of cost and margin.

Through its analysis with cost, and ‘what-if’ cost analysis features, an ERP software allows the manufacturers perform granular-level accurate costing of product while considering all the elements and different costing methods, and also estimate profitable scenarios based on different assumptions.
