Meat Series—Highlighted Features
Catch
Weight
VerticalSoft Food Manufacturing
allows you to set up an inventory item so that two
units of measures will be captured simultaneously
with each transaction. (Note, this feature is different
than another feature that allows optional units
of measures to be selected for a given transaction). For example, catch-weighted products can be ordered
by the case and price by the pound on the same order
line. VerticalSoft Food Manufacturing will capture case quantity and
actual weights rather than estimated weights during
transaction processing. The dual unit of measure
feature results in more accurate inventory control
and establishes flexible pricing methods on either
unit of measure. This feature creates even larger
advantages in purchasing and sales history analysis
because full units and splits can be consolidated
into a common unit of measure.
Co-Products/By-Products
Most ERP
systems record only one output per Bill of Material
definition. VerticalSoft Food Manufacturing allows multiple outputs
to be defined for a process definition. These outputs
can be established as co-products/by-products.
Each output can be lot tracked separately. Cost
allocations are determined based on the output type,
co-product or by-product.
Marketing
Plans
Food companies
need to be very creative in today's marketplace.
Over the years bill back plans, rebates, commissions,
sponsorships and other marketing related plans have
been established with their customers in order to
creative sales incentives. This creativity presents
complex calculation schemes and thus, consumes tremendous
resource time if not properly automated. VerticalSoft Food Manufacturing offers one of the most comprehensive systems

plans that exist in the food industry. Here is some

Shop
Floor Data Capture
Inventory
control and lot tracking are critical features in
any food plant.
To deliver
this functionality in today's modern meat facility,
shop floor
data capture
systems are almost a necessity. You need a system
that will
capture the
right data and validate that data under difficult
conditions.
We have years
of experience in automating inventory transactions
in the
warehouse
and on the production floor. Our Shop Floor Data
Capture
solution
also accommodates labeling issues typically seen
in meat plants.
