Industries
From raw material to traced product, with no break in the chain.
Producing to the rhythm of the seasons, tracing every batch from receipt to dispatch, holding quality, paying producers and delivering to distribution on time: the agri-food industry runs a factory where time counts double. We bring in the ERP that fits your size, and the data that makes every proof immediate.
The context
A business of tight flows and constant proof.
Perishable materials, use-by dates, variable recipes and yields, seasonal campaigns, product recalls always possible. Add the realities of the West African field: supplies that depend on local harvests and on imports, cooperatives and value chains to organise and to pay, remote collection sites, a distribution that runs from the supermarket to the neighbourhood shop. When production, planning, quality and finance live in separate systems, every proof becomes an investigation. Transformation means making traceability a natural by-product of operations: a single thread of data, from receipt of the raw material to the invoice.
The challenges
What is at stake from receipt to dispatch.
Production & yields
Scheduling lines subject to the vagaries of raw material, tracking actual yields by recipe and by batch, reacting to drifts during production rather than at closing.
Planning & seasonality
Planning demand, supplies and capacity over seasonal cycles, balancing freshness, inventory and service levels, with peak periods that saturate the factory and troughs that must be absorbed.
Full traceability
Tracing a batch up and down the chain in minutes, from the producer or supplier to dispatches, to answer an audit or contain a recall without stopping the factory.
Integrated quality
Checks at receipt, during manufacturing and at batch release, management of non-conformities and holds: quality in the flow, not in a binder.
Raw material procurement, cooperatives & value chains
Collection from producers and cooperatives, weighing, grading and payment, purchases of imported inputs and packaging: upstream flows traced and settled on time, the condition for loyal value chains.
Distribution
A chain under control all the way to the customer: dated inventory, cold chain logistics, delivery rounds, promises kept to supermarkets as well as to the retail network, and a well-tracked commercial relationship.
The processes involved
From the season plan to the invoice.
- Production
Recipes and bills of materials, scheduling, execution and production declarations, management of by-products and material losses.
- Planning
Demand forecasting, season plans, supply and capacity planning, freshness and dates included.
- Traceability & batches
Batch and date management (use-by and best-before dates), upstream and downstream genealogy, preparation for audits and product recalls.
- Quality
Inspection plans, batch statuses, non-conformities, release: all integrated with the logistics flow and with production.
- Procurement & value chains
Contracts with cooperatives and suppliers, collection and receipt, producer payments, purchases of inputs, packaging and imported materials, currency management.
- Distribution & sales
Multi-site inventory, warehousing, transport, order taking, delivery rounds, invoicing and collection, from supermarkets to the retail network.
- Finance & steering
Raw material cost prices, margins by recipe and by channel, SYSCOHADA closing, production and yield dashboards.
Solutions
The ERP that fits your size.
A regional agri-food group, a processing plant and a packaging SME do not have the same needs. We choose the ERP with you, then we put it to work for your flows.
SAP S/4HANA
Multi-site, multi-company, multi-country: production, quality, traceability, supply and finance in a single core, with RISE with SAP or GROW with SAP depending on the path.
SAP Business One
A complete ERP, faster to deploy, for a plant or a mid-sized group that wants batch traceability and integrated finance without the weight of a large project.
Odoo
For the SME that is not an SAP fit: production, inventory, procurement, sales and accounting in a modular solution, implemented step by step.
