There are numerous benefits to having a recipe management system:

• Compliance – Store allergen and nutrition information in one place and comply with any requirements and obligations you may have.
• Food safety risk management – With a digital recipe management system like what’s used in the Stevens Traceability System, you’ll mitigate any food safety risks such as allergens or food contamination.
• Improved production capacity – A recipe management system gives you visibility into production blockers like bottlenecks, allowing you to get products off the line quicker, improving production capacity.
• Standardising output quality – Ensure the best quality of your food products every time with a recipe management system. By reducing any variability in quality, product recall is also minimised, saving you costs and promoting viability.
• Reduces your business’s environmental impact – Integrating a recipe management system will ensure the exact amounts of ingredients are added at the right time, product defects are minimised, and ingredient waste is reduced. What’s more, transitioning from paper documents to a paperless Traceability System considerably reduces your business’s environmental impact, improving its sustainable credentials.
• Higher customer satisfaction—Customer satisfaction is greatly improved due to quality reassurance, which increases their trust. In turn, this results in customer loyalty, as customers refer your product to their friends and family, who will also continue to return to your brand time after time.
• Improved margins—With a recipe management system like what’s used in the Stevens Traceability System, you’ll have visibility of all your ingredients and when and where they’re added. You can also see the cost and time it takes to add them, which allows you to know where you can decrease costs and improve efficiency, which in turn improves your profit margins.
• Increased business-wide performance – A Traceability System saves time on stock checks by digitally tracking what’s already in stock, freeing employees from manual audits and labour-intensive tasks. This allows them to focus on more productive activities, enhancing performance management, employee engagement, and productivity.
