For the third year in a row, Blue Link's ERP Software has been included in Food Logistics’ Top 100 Software and Technology Providers list!
The annual list, which is in its 12th year, is designed to recognize systems that help food and beverage manufacturers, foodservice distributors, and grocery retailers achieve their strategic business goals. These include, but are not limited to: achieving end-to-end visibility and collaboration, proper inventory traceability, adherence to industry regulations, risk management, sustainability and cost management. Blue Link inventory and accounting ERP software is being recognized specifically as a food wholesale and distribution system.
For those in the industry, there are several challenges to running a successful business. The first challenge is to truly understand how to best manage the movement of product through the entire food supply chain. The second is doing so in a way that meets the numerous standards and regulations set by governing bodies. Although managing these challenges can seem a daunting task, one thing is certain – proper software designed for food-specific businesses can be the difference between companies that grow and prosper, and those that don’t.
With this is mind, there are several different types of systems available to businesses in the food industry, depending on the situation. For those food businesses that engage in food production such as cutting product, repackaging items, mixing ingredients and tracking waste, manufacturing type systems are best. For those that deal with meat, fish, poultry, produce or dairy (product which is managed using various weights) a system with catch weight functionality is most likely necessary. Lastly, for companies that deal with canned foods, frozen or dry goods, an ERP system specifically for food wholesale and distribution would work best.
