Meeting the challenges.
Staff spending too much time running around getting permission to act?  BatchMaster automates the permission process with automated Approval Processes for Purchasing, Quotations, Formulation changes, and more.
Need tighter control of Recipes?  BatchMaster includes password control, electronic signatures, and standard operating procedures. Full revision control on both the recipe and packaging BOMs flows through to production work orders, offering total control, reversion to previous recipes, and ingredient substitution across a range of recipes or product family.
Taking too long to become aware of special orders or circumstances needing your immediate input?  BatchMaster’s Alert Manager will warn you by email immediately any pre-defined event occurs. Keeps a full audit trail of transaction history and record changes as well, to meet FDA CFR Part 11 requirements.
Finding it tough to get in control of Inventory?  BatchMaster brings together a number of integrated tools to make sure your inventory levels are never more than what is required to meet your delivery promises. The lowest cost full Statistical Forecasting application places a reality check on your forecasts, then feeds those accurate forecasts into Master Production Scheduling (MPS) to identify what products have to be made, and when they should be made. Material Requirements Planning (MRP) examines the MPS schedule and determines the correct date and quantities to place the orders for the Ingredients and Packaging you need to complete the manufacturing process. Purchasing Contract control ensures you are buying off the most appropriate Vendor at the best possible price.
Difficulty in maintaining margins in a price-competitive market?  Analyze your costs and margins, even design products to a specified price with BatchMaster’s Costing module. Identify the prices you need to negotiate, and who you should be negotiating with.
Meeting Lot-traceability requirements a mission?  Forward and backward trace lots in seconds, manage quarantine and expiration by preventing usage of non-qualifying lots. Lot management in BatchMaster is everywhere – you can define lot sizes, cost by lot, even select lots by their quality control test results.
Customer Service Team struggling to cope?  BatchMaster provides a rapid order-entry process with everything at the Customer Service Rep’s fingertips – availability-to-promise, whether the item or its recipe are in production, plus multiple pricing options, including Contracts, Price Tables, and Promotional Pricing.
And of course…  BatchMaster’s “split Bill-of-materials” allows multiple outputs from the same production batch, manages by-products, co-products & waste, handles private-label filling and labelling, and filling from bulk.
Introduce HACCP. Control Allergens, including determining the best production plan to avoid contamination, manage Kosher and Halal. Produce your own Nutritional Labels, and much, much more…!
