Getting food right in Business Central
Traceability by design. Lot capture at every receipt, production and shipment, tested with a mock recall.
Recipe costing. Yields and scrap built in so margins are real.
Shelf life. Expiration rules enforced in picking, not remembered by staff.
Right ISV decision. Base Business Central where it's enough, a food ISV where it isn't.
Food manufacturers and distributors
From ingredient receiving to finished goods shipment, we design Business Central so a recall question takes minutes, not days. See also our approach for manufacturing and distribution & warehousing.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can Business Central do a mock recall?
Yes. With lot tracking set up end to end, item tracing shows where a lot came from and where it went. We test a mock recall before go-live.
Do we need a food ISV on top of Business Central?
It depends on catch weight, formulas, quality and compliance needs. Many food companies benefit from one; some run well on base Business Central.
How does Business Central handle catch weight?
Base Business Central supports multiple units of measure; true catch weight usually comes from a food-industry ISV.
