SI Foodware Overview

Schouw Informatisering and Technology Management are fully specialised in improving business processes and information flows for companies in the food and beverage sector. A great deal of knowledge and experience has been gained over the years, which has led to the development of SI Foodware®. Combined with Microsoft Dynamics® NAV, this forms a standard company-wide ERP solution for the food & beverage sector.

Your situation

As a company operating in the food and beverage sector you have to deal with constantly changing requirements imposed by your clients and suppliers such as exchanging messages via EDI or tighter margins due to price changes. And then there is all the new and ever changing legislation to comply with. Legislation is regularly updated or revised at various levels. Your organisation is expected to go along with all these changes. Just consider the consequences of the General Food Law or the packaging tax. All this means that it is important for companies to save on internal costs and to improve their efficiency. An area where we are more than happy to help.

SI Foodware

In combination with Dynamics NAV, SI Foodware is a complete solution. Besides functionality for the financial administration together with procurement, sales and warehouse management functions, SI Foodware provides sector specific functionality for distribution and production companies. Examples of solutions for distribution companies include lot administration and registering bonuses. Production companies need solutions such as product specifications, SSCC labels and traceability.

Microsoft Dynamics

Dynamics NAV forms the foundations of SI Foodware. This ERP solution from Microsoft is known for its flexibility and stability and that it is thoroughly tested. After all, there must be a good reason for Microsoft to invest about €9 billion each year in product development. Furthermore, your personnel can learn to work with this solution quickly because it has the familiar and user-friendly appearance of other Microsoft products.

Certified for Microsoft Dynamics At the moment there are more than two thousand solutions available for Dynamics NAV worldwide. In order to make a distinction Microsoft has awarded the quality label 'Certified for Microsoft Dynamics' to the best of these solutions. SI Foodware is one of the solutions to have received this highest possible quality certificate.

One integrated standard solution

If you select SI Foodware combined with Dynamics NAV, you will be choosing a standard solution. And furthermore, this is a total solution which is fully integrated with other Microsoft solutions such as Microsoft Office and Microsoft SharePoint. We have also built in standard interfaces for you so you can work with EDI, Radio Frequency or Business Intelligence. These solutions have been developed in cooperation with specialised external partners and are fully integrated with SI Foodware. These standard integration options enable you to keep the costs of maintenance and development low.

Only the software you really need

The SI Foodware solution consists of various modules which can be purchased individually so you only need to invest in the functionality you actually need. In addition, customisation is kept to a minimum because the SI Foodware solution is already very extensive. However, should you require custom changes to the software, this can be realised quite easily.

Efficiency

Working with SI Foodware will improve efficiency within your company. We have translated our comprehensive knowledge and experience into a number of intelligent solutions within SI Foodware. All SI Foodware functionality is integrated into a single application, which gives you better insight into the processes, so that you can ensure they flow together properly. You will also be creating transparency throughout your company. With SI Foodware and Dynamics NAV your staff will be able to retrieve information faster and be able to share it with colleagues. All this means that ultimately you will increase the productivity of each individual user, thus enabling you to really achieve greater efficiency and a good return on your investment.

Compliance

A significant advantage of using SI Foodware is that the software development never stands still. New functionality is developed to meet new requirements due to changing legislation. We also look at changing needs and requirements of other players in your sector so we can see what modifications are necessary in SI Foodware. In addition to developments in the sector we also investigate how new techniques can be applied within SI Foodware. For example, in the areas of Radio Frequency or EDI. In this way the solution is always up to date and you can respond to changing circumstances.
