Food and Beverage Manufacturing
ERP without the headaches - a standard build for the strict requirements of food.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, extended with Yaveon Food, gives New Zealand and Australian food manufacturers the traceability, compliance and quality control the industry demands - on Microsoft's fastest-growing ERP platform.
ERP365 delivers end-to-end consulting, implementation and support so you get real value from day one.
The pressures on NZ food producers are real
Tight margins, demanding customers, and non-negotiable food-safety obligations leave no room for guesswork.
- Recalls that need full lot traceability in seconds, not days
- Shelf-life, best-before and allergen control across every batch
- Rising compliance and audit expectations from customers and regulators
- Manual spreadsheets and disconnected systems hiding your true cost and margin
