Food & Beverage ERP Software

No two food and beverage manufacturers are the same and generic ERP software simply won’t work for most companies. You need a business system that works like you do – in recipes or formulas – not bills of materials. You need a system that has flexible units of measure for buying, stocking, manufacturing, and selling. And you need a system built on a modern platform that can be tailored to the unique nature of your business without locking you into expensive source code modifications. You need Infor CloudSuite Industrial, a powerful ERP application trusted by food and beverage manufacturers for its robust features and amazing technology.

There are a lot of ERP systems on the market designed for niche food and beverage markets from bottling to bakery and breweries to slaughterhouses. Niche applications have incredibly focused operational features but typically have very weak underlying accounting, technology, and integration tools. Larger vendors with more robust applications are typically on older technology platforms having ported the software over to new platforms with little or no adjustments to harness the capabilities of the new technology. But Infor CloudSuite Industrial provides both the deep functionality you demand and the cutting-edge technology platform you need to grow your business for decades to come.

Infor CloudSuite Industrial is built on a powerful rapid development platform called Infor Mongoose which is just part of the amazing Infor OS operating system.
