Empower your food production with end-to-end digitalization — from raw material sourcing to final delivery. BE-terna’s tailored ERP solutions ensure industry-grade compliance, highest product quality, and seamless process integration across the entire value chain.
Operating in one of the most demanding sectors, food manufacturers face tight regulations, short product lifecycles, and rising consumer expectations. At BE-terna, we deliver cloud-based ERP software tailored for the food and beverage industry — helping you boost agility, ensure compliance, and meet market demands with confidence.
Complete transparency across the supply chain: Meeting global food safety standards requires more than documentation. Our ERP systems enable batch-level tracking, integrated specification management, and automated quality controls — all embedded into your operational workflows for transparent, audit-ready processes. Whether you're handling raw ingredients or finished goods, you gain the visibility needed to meet legal requirements, pass audits, and confidently manage recalls if needed.
Precision and flexibility in every production run: With short shelf lives and fluctuating demand, precise planning is key. Our ERP tools support dynamic production scheduling, intelligent inventory rotation, and freshness-focused supply chain management — helping you deliver quality products with minimal waste. Seasonal trends, promotional peaks, and order variability can be handled with confidence, ensuring freshness and minimizing stock obsolescence.
One system for supply chain, quality, and financial control: Our modern, cloud-based ERP unifies supply chain management, quality control, mobile warehouse operations, and real-time financial insights in one platform. This integration boosts collaboration, speeds up response to disruptions, and enables data-driven decisions—from raw material to shelf. With fewer manual handovers and real-time visibility, your operations become faster, more agile, and resilient.
The food industry is highly diverse — spanning baked goods, ingredients and flavorings, beverages, and the production of ready-to-eat meals and delicatessen products.. That’s why BE-terna offers not just one, but two powerful ERP platforms:
based on Microsoft Dynamics 365
based on Infor M3 CloudSuite
Each solution comes with rich, industry-specific functionalities that address critical needs such as traceability, expiration control, labeling, quality assurance, and cross-functional planning. This includes support for deposit systems, seasonal raw material planning, maturation and aging processes, packaging unit management, and the administration of nutritional values and ingredients. Whether you’re operating locally or internationally, with single-site or complex multi-plant structures — we support your digital transformation with the right technology.
Our BE-terna consultants work closely with you to assess your goals, processes, and digital maturity — ensuring that the solution you choose aligns seamlessly with your long-term business strategy. We’re here to help you assess your needs and guide you toward the ERP solution that fits your business best.
End-to-End Batch Traceability
Ensure complete transparency and compliance with full lot and batch management across all production stages. Capture origin, attributes, supplier data, and processing steps — all fully traceable and audit-ready to meet industry and legal requirements.
Shelf Life & Inventory Optimization
Automate freshness-driven planning with precise shelf-life tracking, best-before date management, and intelligent stock rotation. This minimizes waste, ensures timely deliveries, and optimizes your inventory across the entire supply chain.
Recipe & Label Management
Manage multi-level recipes and product specifications — including allergens, nutritional values, and ingredients. Automate the creation of compliant labels and centrally manage texts for declarations and handling instructions in line with current EU regulations.
End-to-End Supply & Production Planning
Enable dynamic, end-to-end planning across the entire value chain — from the procurement of raw materials and trading goods to the scheduling of intermediate and finished products. The system takes into account lead times, transport durations, and storage periods, and supports multiple planning strategies such as demand-driven replenishment, lot-sizing methods, and safety stock policies.
Precise Costing & Yield Control
Gain full transparency over your actual production costs through rule-based markups on materials, labor time, and quantities. Monitor yield and scrap in real time, and evaluate supplier performance with integrated supplier scoring.
Mobile Processes & Smart Logistics
Use mobile tools to streamline warehouse and production operations, manage tour planning with automated freight cost calculation, and simplify container and packaging tracking (single-use and reusable containers, IFCO boxes, IBC containers). Integrated cloud integration connectors enable scale integration, and rules like consolidated storage rules ensure intelligent logistics flows.
Innovation-Ready Architecture
A modern ERP system lays the foundation for your company’s future viability. It not only brings transparency and efficiency to your current operations, but also offers the technological base to fully leverage future developments — such as the targeted use of artificial intelligence (AI), seamless integration of diverse systems and technologies, and ongoing process optimization through process mining.
An ERP transformation is more than the sum of its features. It requires a strong internal project team and an experienced partner who speaks your language and helps turn challenges into practical solutions. What truly counts is a long-term partnership — one that not only supports your daily operations but also unlocks the potential of future technologies to continuously improve your business processes.
