Why Can’t Your Current Tools Handle Modern Dairy Manufacturing Challenges?
Most dairy businesses still rely on fragmented systems, spreadsheets, or generic software that were never designed for the realities of modern dairy manufacturing. This is where our ERP-based dairy management software comes in. “As operations grow, these tools struggle to maintain strict quality standards, shorter shelf life, complex supply chains, and subscription-driven demand.”
Challenges
Daily fluctuations in milk quantity, quality, and pricing make procurement difficult to track and reconcile.
Solutions
- Milk collection tracking by center and route
- Farmer/vendor master data
- Quality testing, grading, and fat/SNF recording
- Procurement trend analysis
- Integration with weighing and testing devices
- Automated price calculation and settlements
Challenges
Milk and dairy products expire quickly. Without real-time visibility, businesses face wastage and missed sales.
Solutions
- Expiry-date tracking (FIFO/FEFO)
- Real-time inventory visibility
- Alerts for near-expiry stocks
- Lot/batch tracking
- Multi-location management
- Demand forecasting
Challenges
It is difficult to trace finished products back to the source during quality issues or audits.
Solutions
- Batch and lot-level traceability
- Forward and backward trace (source to customer)
- Linkage between procurement, production, and sales
- Recall management support
- Centralized traceability reports
Challenges
Paper-based or disconnected quality checks increase regulatory compliance risks.
Solutions
- Digital quality inspection plans
- Lab test result recording and approvals
- Quality deviation alerts
- Automated compliance documentation
- Audit-ready quality reports
Challenges
Poor planning leads to overproduction, underproduction, and yield losses.
Solutions
- Production planning and scheduling
- Bill of Materials (BoM) and yield management
- By-product and wastage tracking
- Real-time production status updates
- Capacity and shift planning
Challenge
Dairy manufacturers struggle to track actual yield versus expected output, resulting in hidden losses and reduced margins.
Solutions
- Standard yield definition by product
- Actual vs. expected yield tracking
- Loss and variance analysis at each production stage
- By-product utilization tracking
- Yield performance report by batch and shift
Challenges
Managing routes, vehicles, and daily deliveries manually leads to delays and errors.
Solutions
- Route and dispatch planning
- Vehicle and driver management
- Integration with delivery and subscription systems (like TrakOp)
- Real-time dispatch and delivery tracking
Challenges
Daily subscription changes (modifications in orders, pausing/resuming deliveries, or canceling deliveries) make forecasting and billing complicated.
Solutions
- Subscription and recurring order management
- Pause, modify, and resume subscriptions
- Automated billing and invoicing
- Wallet and prepaid balance management
- Demand forecasting based on subscription data
Challenges
Disconnected systems hide true costs and profitability.
Solutions
- Integrated accounting and costing
