PLAN

Recipes & Pack Outs

Manage both produced and purchased product families with ease
Create, edit & duplicate recipes and pack outs in minutes, not hours
Auto-generate Bills of Materials (BOMs) and revision history with each new item record
Support for multiple manufacturing methods per SKU—tailor BOMs by site, season, or process
Maintain private-labeled products alongside your own product lines

Calculate & Manage

Transact in multiple units of measure at the same time (e.g. consume 1 bag of flour, which is 50 pounds)
Manage packaging like pouches, boxes, and film —not just ingredients
Embed inline instructions and material requirements directly into each recipe
Set batch sizes based on consumption of a given ingredient (e.g. set batch size based on consuming 1 bag of flour)

Revision Tracking

Track detailed revision history across BOMs, recipes, and any other manufactured product (yes, really)
Compare BOMs and revisions side-by-side to spot changes at a glance
Capture “who changed what, when, and why” for full traceability
