From fragmented records to a connected factory view

From fragmented records to a connected factory view

Before

Work was split across Excel files, manual records and individual experience. Recipe, purchasing, production and invoicing steps were harder to trace as one operating story.

After

Supplier batch and incoming inspection can be traced through stock, recipe, trolley, production and finished lot. Management can follow what was planned, required, purchased, received, issued and produced.

Following one order through the factory

Following one order through the factory

01

Sales

Customer Service picks products, quotes, and books the order in OneAvant. CRM holds more than 1,600 contacts and more than 450 companies in one place, so the team is not chasing lists.

02

Plan

Confirmed demand becomes a production plan: product, recipe, floor, planned quantity, date. Kitchens see what must be pre-prepared from sub-recipes before the final run.

03

Purchase

Stores and Procurement work from recipe and plan, not guesswork. Across more than 180 suppliers, more than 19,000 purchase orders and more than 19,000 goods-received records, the team can compare ordered, delivered and invoiced, with batch, lot, expiry and vehicle checks on receipt.

04

Produce

Trolley building prepares the exact ingredient quantities for the approved recipe and planned quantity (not finished-goods loading). Production records planned vs actual and lot. Differences get investigated: over/under, yield, waste, issuing errors.

05

Deliver

Finance posts and invoices from the same order path (about 60% less admin time on posting and invoicing, Priya's estimate). Logistics plans fleet, routes and reconciliation with visibility over what left the factory.

“OneAvant has connected processes that were previously fragmented across Excel files, manual records and individual experience. It has given us greater traceability, improved recipe consistency and much better control from purchasing and recipe costing through material preparation, production, invoicing and delivery.”
