MORE ABOUT THE SOFTWARE
Management
Stevens Management is the heart of the Stevens Traceability System. When operating with Essentials, Stevens Management puts you in complete control. You can set up your recipes (Bill of Materials), set specific tolerances for ingredients, create custom instructions and questions, create your production plans, manage operators and much more.
Reporting
Reporting Essentials features a range of reports supporting mass balance and traceability. The suite includes reports on ingredient usage, production summary, batch production, recipe production, operator production and much more. Stevens Reports also features many different export options, such as PDF or CSV.
Stock Control
Stock Essentials can handle your day to day stock management. Goods can be receipted into the system and moved from one stock location to another. 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 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.
Production
With Production Essentials, recipes (Bill of Materials) are scheduled for the weighing terminal. Using lot numbers, Essentials ensures that all ingredients within the recipe are then weighed to set tolerances (+/-) for accuracy, consistency and cost management. Once weighed, this information is captured back to the Stevens Traceability System and made available for reporting. With the addition of the Stock Essentials module, stock can be validated, ensuring expired stock is not consumed.
Quality Control
There are a number of Quality Assurance (QA) controls within the Stevens Essentials Traceability System, including allergen controls, certificate of conformity information, goods in checks, start-up routine checks, product specification and much more. You are in control of all the recipe details, ingredients, instructions etc and capturing of data throughout the process. The information can be reported against and recorded against batch and user.
