Food manufacturing and distribution isn’t just about making, processing, and delivering delicious food and getting it out the door. It’s about managing inventory, ensuring compliance and food safety, optimising supply chains, and keeping consumers happy, to name a few.
 
Without a centralised system to handle all these complexities, food businesses can lose revenue, waste staff time and resources, and struggle to grow. As competition increases and technology evolves, many food and beverage companies turn to ERP (enterprise resource planning) software, especially systems designed for the food industry like Dynamics Food (powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central).

Managing the switch from B2B to B2C with e-commerce won’t come naturally to most food manufacturers and distributors. So, what obstacles do you have to overcome and how can a Microsoft Dynamics 365 food ERP software help?

Despite the pandemic causing uncertainty and chaos for some sectors, the food industry, however, has seen new records for November as consumers hope for a better end to the year.

During these unprecedented times, COVID-19 has completely changed our daily lives. The way that consumers are shopping to get those essential food items such as milk, bread and cleaning items has changed due to lockdown and social distancing measures being put into place. Many more are turning to online deliveries to get what they need but encounter long waits for deliveries, face long queues outside the supermarket and some empty shelves due to panic buying and stockpiling.

In the Food industry, you’ll be facing a Christmas whirlwind in both volume and demand for your product, so the last thing you want is a system that is pulling the reins back, whilst the competition soars ahead.

If you’re struck with the overwhelming sense that your business system is the driving force of stress and anxiety across your company, then it may be time to switch to Dynamics Food.
