A selection of the modules provided with administration, purchase and sales
Purchase and sales
Purchase and sales are of course part of Aptean Food & Beverage ERP. The customer, for whom you buy and sell, naturally takes centre stage in all your business processes. That is the beginning and the end of your value chain. Aptean Food & Beverage ERP helps you manage your contacts with customers and suppliers at a business and individual level in one integrated system. Would you like more options in the field of sales opportunities and campaigns (with rebates), then you can expand the solution with Dynamics 365 for Sales.
Contract registration and processing
When dealing with the procurement and sale of products and services, you as an international trading company often have to handle the registration and processing of contracts. This is automatically supported by the trade-specific functionality in Aptean Food & Beverage ERP. As well as the accompanying activities for handling these contracts throughout various departments.
Demand forecasting
The benefits are twofold if you can forecast demand accurately. On the one hand, it leads to more sales (by offering insight into the ‘drivers’ behind your sales results) and boosts customer confidence, and on the other it saves costs thanks to production flow optimisation. Key to demand forecasting with Machine Learning is the relationship between up to date data, potentially combined with forecasting (the weather, the economy), in comparison with historical data. This combination of data can facilitate a truly accurate forecast of what is going to be sold. This enables companies to optimise their production planning.
Rebates
As a food organisation, you have customers and suppliers with whom you have made arrangements concerning rebates. A rebate is typically awarded if a given amount of value or volume is ordered over a specific period. And you will probably want to earmark these rebates in a general ledger. You will also want to record the payout of these rebates in your ERP software. Aptean Food & Beverage ERP ensures that rebates can be paid out correctly to customers and suppliers.
Catch weight
In the fresh sector, it often happens that you procure, produce or supply products both in pieces and in kilograms, whereby kilograms are leading in the settlement of cost price, procurement and sales prices. The Catch weight module makes it possible to exercise control regarding the administrative weight variances and to reach the right price settlement.
EDI
As a supplier to retailers, you have to deal with the given that it must be possible to communicate through EDI messages. This communication must take place according to the standard definition of EDI messages of GS1 as pre-determined by the food sector. EDI is an absolute must for companies with many business associates who procure large numbers of products. The Data Integration Framework within Aptean Food & Beverage ERP takes care of all your EDI requirements without a fuss.
Financial administration
Various functionalities can be automatically retrieved in Aptean Food & Beverage ERP. Consider streamlining your bookkeeping processes with general ledger functionality, or handling flexible, integrated payment transactions via Creditors. On the other hand, you can optimise cash flow by accelerating claims processes and tracing Debtor payments.
