Growing Food Manufacturers Transition to Sage 500 Food ERP Software

As your food manufacturing business grows and becomes more specialized and dynamic, so must your ERP software.  At EVS, we've worked with food and beverage manufacturers that have grown out of their small accounting systems and need to move into something more robust in order to manage their growing business.

Many times, food processors find that growth highlights some problems in their operations.  For one, disparate systems can create a real reporting headache.  Not only do you have multiple systems to manage, but you also have multiple areas of data entry and reporting that can lead to discrepancies and human error.  This is all before realizing how time consuming it is to operate in this manner.

O2 Process Manufacturing ERP software for Sage 500 is the right move for growing food and beverage manufacturers in the mid-market space.  O2 Food ERP software can provide the tools and structure you need to manage your business from start to finish in a central location.  Here are some of the key areas improved by this food manufacturing ERP software:

• Research & Development: R&D in food manufacturing can require specific functionality such as percentage-based recipes, nutritional calculations, allergen tracing, product costing, etc.  With the O2 food manufacturing software, employees will be empowered with industry leading tools, which are completely integrated with the rest of the organization.
• Regulatory: Regulatory reporting is critical in food and beverage manufacturing.  With full lot recall capabilities for Bioterrorism compliance and nutritional labeling capabilities, the O2 Food ERP software will help you maintain all of your regulatory reporting data in one central location.
