The food & beverage industry is arguably the most important industry in the world. With supply chain struggles increasing internationally, having the right ERP software to ensure business continuity is imperative. Here are 5 reasons why IFS Cloud should be in the running when you're choosing your next ERP system:
1. A comprehensive, flexible and industry-specific solution
Supports all phases of the
product lifecycle: new product development, procurement, manufacture, quality
compliance and delivery to customer.
With IFS Cloud, everything is in one place and food & beverage manufacturers have a single version of the truth. This means better balancing of supply and demand, streamlining the supply chain, complying with ever-changing regulations, and driving customer loyalty.
A range of manufacturing modes: make-to-stock, make-to-order, make-to-forecast, or a combination.
Making to forecast? Or making to stock? No problem. Food and beverage companies might even have a mix of several of modes of manufacturing, depending on customer or market demands. In an industry known for fierce competition and razor-thin profit margins, IFS Cloud gives food and beverage manufacturers the tools to maintain their competitive edge.
2. More accurate forecasting and planning
Intraday Planning supports fresh food and fast-moving manufacturers in reviewing and adjusting their plans when orders come in from a retailer that morning, for shipping later the same day.
Accelerated responsiveness and agility help manufacturers drive bottom line growth and improve customer service, while keeping scheduled production disruption to a minimum.

Food and beverage producers can more easily trace quality issues to specific lots and batches, helping them to comply with food laws and regulations and avoid product recalls.
