Safety and quality control

Problem: Producers are constantly under pressure to meet strict safety standards – not just through regulatory compliance, but increasing consumer scrutiny. A centralized repository of quality control data is essential.

Solution: Sage X3 brings everything together in one place, from Certificates of Analysis to country of origin tracking and product recall management.

So food & beverage businesses always have a clear, reportable quality control trail.

Managing Perishables

Problem: Even small fluctuations in demand and lead to significant waste. But the biggest challenge is in tracking and managing perishables effectively, controlling how inventory is used to minimize sunk costs.

Solution: Sage X3 delivers complete clarity over your inventory and any related expiration, helping you improve efficiency and design production around your perishable stock.

Complex supply chains

Problem: With raw materials potentially coming from all around the world, food & beverage supply chains tend to be distributed, complicated and hard to manage. This leads to siloed processes and a lack of governance when it comes to your global partners.

Solution: Built for global industries, Sage X3 doesn’t just consolidate data from every farm, supplier and warehouse – it supports every language, legislation and process you need to streamline and trace operations worldwide.

Changing consumer preferences

Problem: From functional foods to plant-based meats, the food & beverage industry is constantly responding to changing consumer needs. As a result, ways of working and managing production need to be highly adaptable at a moment’s notice.

Solution: Sage X3 gives you a data-driven view of your entire organisation, allowing you to identity trends and empowering you to stay agile. So you can make informed, strategic decisions at every stage.
