Next Drinks Scales Ready-to-Drink Beverage Production with BatchMaster
The Challenge: Scaling to Meet Explosive Demand
Core Requirements: Batch Management at the Center
Supply chain, stock management, and core ERP functionality were key priorities, but the ability to build and manage batches sat at the heart of the search. With a small, concentrated customer base, features like CRM were far less important than manufacturing precision. Core batch manufacturing — the ability to make and manage batches accurately — was considered absolutely essential.
Why Next Drinks Chose BatchMaster
-
Proven experience: The business already had firsthand exposure to BatchMaster and knew it to be stable and reliable.
-
Complex unit conversions: BatchMaster could handle the intricate conversions required in fortified milk production — from thousands of liters of milk down to a couple hundred grams of an ingredient like vitamin D3.
-
Food industry fit: The system was proven to handle the specific operational challenges of food manufacturing.
-
Quality tracking: BatchMaster's ability to store quality-testing metrics for each batch and run, and to retrieve them easily, was a key differentiator in the decision.
Looking Ahead
“Since we started with BatchMaster, we’ve grown about 30%. That kind of growth would have been really difficult to manage without a system like this.”
