So, what is Food Production ERP?
It’s all about spending less time on managing data and more time growing your business. Food Production ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software allows food business organizations to better satisfy customers and increase profitability amid an unpredictable market. In an industry with traditionally tight margins, getting the right product to the right place at the right time in the right quantity is critical.
Reality Check. Now more than ever with today’s epidemic, Food Production ERP is imperative.
The Advent of Covid-19
The impact of Covid-19 has been tremendously disruptive to the food production industry. Whether you are a meat processing facility in the Midwest who is producing beef and poultry products, a wine vineyard in Sonoma Valley, or a mom & pop catering business in Atlanta, you have felt the pain of staffing, logistics and supply chain issues thrown upon us from Covid. Unheralded closures of restaurants, bars, travel, businesses, and entertainment events, coupled with the simultaneous spike in online ordering and direct-to-consumer (DTC) has been daunting from a supply chain perspective. Transportation, warehousing, distribution, and even packaging have all taken a beating. Further up the supply chain, we saw disruptions in the agriculture and shipping sectors as workers became ill and workforces were forced to socially distance and adhere to new guidelines.
We are still being devastated with severe disruptions in shipping, both internationally and domestically. In mid-September, for instance, we saw a record-high 56 cargo ships anchored off the California coastline waiting for a spot to berth. Meanwhile, ocean freight rates are hitting historic highs. Truck transportation continues to be challenged with an estimated shortage of 80,000 truck drivers, and warehousing is likewise finding it difficult to source workers. That’s not all. We have aluminum shortages that are affecting canning, and wooden pallet shortages, too. Of course, last year we saw historic wildfires in California and other western wine-producing states. Climate change, and with it, sustainability, are taking center stage, resulting in changes to farming, to the best types of varietals for the hotter, drier climate.
