Key points
- Barcode scanning at every movement.
- Supplier traceability for produce and packaging.
- Labels for consumer units, cases and pallets.
- Sage remains the finance system of record.
Traceability from scans
Raw material, sorted or washed product, packed product and pallets are each tracked and linked. Recalls run up and down the chain by any key, and audits are answered in seconds.
Example: restaurant group on Sage Intacct
Sage reports that restaurant group Tender Greens grew its footprint by 90 % while reducing finance headcount by 1.5 FTE, and cut accounting overhead from 0.94 % to 0.74 % of sales after centralising on Sage Intacct – an example of what removing manual re-keying achieves.
