ERP for Food and Beverage.

Food and beverage businesses face regulatory, traceability, and perishability requirements that standard ERP cannot accommodate. Sage X3, deployed by Mysoft, handles batch traceability, shelf-life management, recipe costing, and compliance reporting as core capabilities — not add-ons.

Sector Challenges

What must food & beverage ERP handle?

Batch & lot traceability.

End-to-end lot traceability from raw-material receipt through production to despatch. Recall readiness means identifying every affected batch and customer in minutes, not days.

Shelf-life & date management.

FEFO picking, best-before management and automated near-expiry alerts, integrated with procurement and production planning. Reduces waste and recall exposure.

Recipe & formulation costing.

Variable recipe costing, yield management and co-product / by-product accounting. Product costs update automatically when ingredient costs change.

Regulatory & certification compliance.

BRC, SALSA, and retailer audit documentation. Allergen management, label compliance, and specification control, so documentation is a system output, not a manual exercise.

Promotional pricing & customer management.

Complex customer price agreements, promotional pricing, and retrospective discounts, typical in food retail supply, are handled natively in sales order management.

EDI & retailer integration.

Purchase order, despatch advice and invoice EDI with major UK and European retailers. X3CloudDocs handles notification and acknowledgement within Sage X3.

 
How F&B differs

Why is F&B ERP selection different?

Food & beverage isn’t “standard manufacturing.” You’re managing perishability, tight margins, strict compliance, and constant change, all while protecting quality and customer trust. The system has to handle that complexity as part of everyday operations, not as bolt-ons.

When an ERP can’t manage these natively, teams fall back on spreadsheets and manual checks, which increases risk, slows production and makes reporting harder than it should be.

What makes F&B different

Recall readiness

Why is recall-readiness now a competitive advantage?

In food & beverage, risk isn’t theoretical. A single issue can trigger a recall, disrupt production, and damage retailer confidence. The manufacturers who move fastest are the ones who can trace faster, quarantine accurately, and prove compliance, without scrambling.

Stage 2 · Intelligent Automation

We see Sage X3 as the long-term solution for our business. If we are going to be investing in software, then it makes sense for us to invest in a modern solution that is being continuously developed, rather than one that is reaching the end of its life. We wanted a solution that has the potential to expand, and that is what we saw in Sage X3. It can accommodate multiple countries and, potentially, in the future, advanced business intelligence tools and CRM as well.

Sage X3 is the core of our operation. Mysoft has been instrumental in the success of this project. Sage X3 has enabled us to automate and implement new business processes, and we now have greater visibility of data than ever before. Before Sage X3, reporting was difficult; we still had people printing reports, and the technology was outdated. Sage X3 offered us a scalable, capable solution that we can build our business on.
