Organisations trading in or using catch weight items in their production process make constant use of the scales. Weighing items and registering the consumption is a time consuming process. This can be done faster and more accurately by interfacing the weighing scales to the ERP system, enabling changes in the inventory to be updated in the system in real-time.
The Food and Beverage industry is characterised by specific requirements which can often not be catered for by a standard company-wide solution. For this reason Schouw Informatisering and Technology Management have combined their many years of knowledge and experience into SI Foodware®. In combination with Microsoft Dynamics® NAV, SI Foodware® forms a fully integrated standard company-wide ERP solution specifically for food and beverage companies.
SI Foodware is under continuous development and meets the latest industry requirements. This creates a specific solution, where costs remain manageable as the amount of customisation is reduced to a minimum. SI Foodware has been recognised by Microsoft with the highest quality label: 'Certified for Microsoft Dynamics'. SI Foodware consists of a number of integrated solutions, one of which is SI Foodware - Scales Connection. With this solution, values from scales are registered in the administration at the push of a button.
When a catch weight item is used in the logistics process, for example in a purchase, production or sales order, you can use SI Foodware - Scales Connection to indicate per order line if it should be displayed on the weighing list. As soon as the desired weight is reached, the warehouse employee confirms and the actual weight is entered into the system automatically and updated in real-time. This means that fewer transactions have to be entered manually and so fewer mistakes will be made.
