End-To-End Control Of Supply Chain

In today’s ever-changing and regulated global marketplace, it’s essential for food manufacturers to maximize every supply chain opportunity and manage every risk. Our core tools and automation ensure control, compliance and traceability of your entire manufacturing process, from the raw materials you start with to the packaged goods delivered to your customers.

Abel for Food Manufacturers includes:

  • Automated procurement that reduces waste, lead times and overheads by integrating purchasing, sales, stock, receipting, invoicing, dispatch and shipping

  • Batch-control system to help you better manage inventory, scheduling and quarantine issues for
    hundreds of individual ingredients

  • Improved production efficiency and reliability with touch screens and hand-held scanners to track ingredients and verify they’re correctly used to recipe specifications

  • Bar-coded ingredients and batches that ensure traceability of your entire supply chain so you can
    quickly isolate and correct a quality issue in the
    event of a safety issue or recall.

” Abel was the most engaged company we met. Their attitude is very can-do. A whole team of Abel experts came out to understand our specialist equipment and ensure we got the best out of our system, and we have. ”
