Take Control of Your Manufacturing and Logistics
Food and beverage factories across the world face unique challenges in inventory control, traceability, and one-to-many manufacturing processes that ordinary warehouse management systems and all-in-one ERPs don’t fully support. ParityFactory is the only industry-specific food warehouse management software (WMS) and manufacturing execution system (MES) that combines the world’s best ERPs for real-time inventory control, comprehensive tracing, and more efficient processing.
WMS and MES Designed for Food and Beverage Processors
ParityFactory’s WMS and MES software solution was designed from the ground up for the manufacturing unique to food and beverage processors. From fishermen settlements for our seafood clients, to grower receiving and grower payments for our produce clients, ParityFactory software is easy to use and can be fully implemented into your operation in 90 days.
Warehouse and Inventory Management
To simplify warehouse operations, every ParityFactory implementation starts with the receiving and shipping process. Our software scans crates, boxes, or whole pallets directly into your inventory and checks them into their location – instantly tracking available ingredients and finished products, along with their precise locations. Our system also offers automatic FIFO and GS1 labeling for efficient lot tracing.
Food and Beverage Production Management
Embrace a paperless production process with comprehensive tracking at each step. ParityFactory is designed to improve speed, reduce errors, and alert users of potential ingredient mix-ups in your production run (i.e., organic vs. non-organic, allergen vs. non-allergen).
Our proven food manufacturing software dynamically generates finished goods and ingredient pick-lists, providing a transparent view of your production flow and enabling inventory tracking even throughout work-in-progress steps. It also optimizes your production process through yield tracking, catchweight production scheduling, and recipe management.
Quality Control and Lot Traceability
Experience a streamlined quality control process with our Quality Module (PF Quality) – eliminating the need for paperwork and enabling data capture via handheld scanners. It’s designed for food processors aiming to record, track, and report quality data effectively and ensures regulatory compliance.
As an optional component of ParityFactory, PF Quality enhances the efficiency of your existing quality control measures, thereby reducing risk. It offers swift recall capabilities, allowing ParityFactory customers to perform a recall within minutes – significantly below the standard two-hour requirement. Apart from satisfying major retailers like Costco and Walmart, instant lot tracing sets your company apart in the food industry.
Real-Time Reporting
Our out-of-the-box reporting suite includes numerous pre-designed reports, alongside custom report creation during each implementation, promoting operational efficiency. For clients requiring advanced MRP or extensive reporting, our custom reporting module allows users to create and save new reports using data from ParityFactory software and integrated ERP systems.
Gain real-time insights into current production, execute mock recalls within minutes, and ensure checks and balances throughout the factory with our software’s management and enforcement features. Above all, enjoy instant, up-to-date visibility into your business operations.
