Drive Sales with Food Processing Solutions

Food processing solutions play an important role in Nouvem food processing solutions. Imagine having real-time date stock, pricing, and order history at your fingertips while your customer is still on the phone. Imagine being able to enter the order onto a computer from anywhere, seamlessly communicating the order to production, dispatch and accounts – and you’re still chatting with your customer on the phone. This is the reality with a Nouvem system. Because everyone in the chain is connected, nobody is in the dark. As soon as the dispatch manager scans or weighs the product onto an order, accounts or management can see the docket, even if it’s not yet finished.

Nouvem Food Processing Solutions: Manage Purchases

Similar to the sales process, our purchasing software arms your procurement & planners with real-time information to enable better purchasing decisions. Whether you need to know requirements based on existing orders, stock or historical information, the information is available to you quickly and easily. Complete order history, production yield from previous batches, pricing paid, and deliveries received, are some of the essential information to allow you to make informed decisions.

Have a Look At Logistics

Nouvem food processing solutions also include logistics control. At Goods-In, Nouvem software works in the office and in the factory. As goods arrive at goods in, they can be weighed, labelled, batched, and entered into stock according to your process requirements. As these processes are mostly automated, this all happens quicker than the time it takes to record the information in a goods-in book. Traceability and Quality information may also be captured to ensure compliance with relevant standards.

At Dispatch, products may be scanned, weighed, or simply booked onto a delivery from a handheld, factory floor touchscreen, or office PC. Generally, all traceability data is automatically captured scanning, selecting, or entering the batch number. As the system is fully integrated, traceability information can be automatically carried onto dispatch paperwork, labels, and even invoices.

Our solution modules are part of a comprehensive software suite built for meat and food processors. We offer solutions in procurement, sales, production and dispatch. Our solutions will run on your Office computers as well as factory floor terminals, weighing scales, scanners and printers. Whether you require a highly functional weighing & labelling solution, a waste management solution or a full factory system integrating with your ERP or Accounts package, we most likely have a solution that will increase your efficiency.

Recipe Management

NOUVEM recipe module features multi-level recipe management while maintaining traceability and accuracy of stock.

The following features are available:

Multi-level recipe BOM management
Costings
Base recipe with automated adjustment of ingredients and mixes based on production orders
Controls implemented through authorisations and validation
Full audit trail

The operator will select a recipe to produce at the touchscreen terminal. The NOUVEM food processing solutions will calculate the target weights and mixes required, based on the recipe batch size. The operator will then weigh, or manually issue ingredients to the recipe and select the correct batch details for each of the ingredients.

Reporting

All transactions are stored in a SQL Server database for reporting. As standard, you will receive the following reports Customized reporting is also available to make Nouvem food processing solutions work for you. Some of the reports available include:

Quality Control Reports: These reports provide information about the quality of raw materials, ingredients, and finished products. They may include results of various tests such as microbiological analysis, nutritional analysis, and sensory evaluation. These reports help ensure that the food products meet the required quality standards and comply with regulatory requirements.

Production Reports: These reports provide details about the production process, including production volumes, production rates, and production yields. They can help identify any deviations from the planned production targets, assess production efficiency, and optimize production processes.

Inventory Reports: These reports provide information about the inventory levels of raw materials, ingredients, and finished products. They can help monitor inventory turnover, track inventory movement, and identify any discrepancies in inventory levels. This information is crucial for managing the supply chain and ensuring uninterrupted production.

Food Safety Reports: These reports provide information related to food safety, such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) reports, sanitation reports, and pest control reports. These reports help ensure that food processing facilities are maintaining appropriate food safety practices to prevent foodborne illnesses and comply with regulatory requirements.

Compliance Reports: These reports provide information about compliance with regulatory requirements, such as food safety regulations, labelling regulations, and environmental regulations. They may include documentation related to audits, inspections, and certifications. These reports are crucial for demonstrating compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Maintenance Reports: These reports provide information about the maintenance activities carried out on food processing equipment and machinery. They may include details about preventive maintenance schedules, breakdown maintenance, and repairs. These reports help ensure that equipment is properly maintained to prevent production disruptions and ensure food safety.

Cost and Financial Reports: These reports provide information about the costs associated with food processing operations, including raw material costs, labour costs, overhead costs, and other production-related expenses. Financial reports such as profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements are also crucial for assessing the financial health of the food processing operation.

Traceability Reports: These reports provide information about the traceability of ingredients and finished products throughout the supply chain. They may include details about suppliers, batch numbers, lot numbers, and production dates. Traceability reports are crucial for managing product recalls, investigating quality issues, and ensuring product authenticity.

Mass Balance and Batch Yield

Using an integrated solution provides benefits without necessarily incurring labour overheads.

e.g. Generic Product Flow

Products are received on a computer in the Goods-In area
Products are issued to production using a handheld, weighing terminal, or computer
Products are received from production and may be labelled with catch weight or fixed weight labels
Products are scanned or booked, and shipped.

The above is a very generic process for a typical meat or food processor. By processing these orders using an integrated system, the following reports or analyses are possible with no further human intervention:

Batch Yield
Mass Balance
Product Recall
Stock
Traceability

Once initially set up, information should seamlessly flow from the system, providing mass insight, and allowing us to increase efficiency throughout your operation.
