A Look At Essentials
Throughout this series of posts, we’re focusing on the different elements of the Essentials Traceability System, and how it can benefit your business. With Essentials, you can make the most of traceability and stock management across office and shop floor.
If you’re a small to medium scale food manufacturing business that is looking to proactively manage your stock and production processes, the Essentials Traceability System is the ideal solution. It has tools for stock management, recipe control, batch reporting, customer order input and more. Essentials allows businesses to go paperless throughout both their production and auditing processes.
As a modularised system, you can add software modules and additional hardware to your system as and when required.
Paperless Stock Management
When it comes to stock, we know that managing stock within a busy business can quickly become a headache. This is where the Essentials System comes in, and the stock module in the Stevens software can handle your day-to-day stock management. At goods in, stock can be receipted into the system and moved from one location to another, with visibility across the system over which stock is available and where. Stock levels can also be adjusted with Quality Assurance (QA) data.
As goods are received, lot or batch information such as Purchase Order (PO) number, supplier, expiry date, location and much more can be recorded, allowing product traceability right from the start. Quality, conformance, and allergen control questions can also be recorded at this stage – eradicating paperwork, double-entry of data, and possible operator errors.
