The Challenge:
In food manufacturing industries maintaining product integrity and compliance is critical. Operations often deal with products that have multiple grades – think Manuka Honey or Milk Powder – each tied to unique inventory codes. When laboratory testing shows a batch needs a different grade, businesses face a challenge: how to re-grade the batch quickly and accurately without losing essential data. Manual processes can be error-prone, leading to misaligned pricing, incorrect country of eligibility classification, and compliance risks.
How Abel Helps:
Abel simplifies batch re-grading with its MAKE process, designed for straightforward manufacturing tasks. Starting from the Batch Register screen, users can view key test results and eligibility data, then select a batch and click Build MAKE. Abel opens the Convert Inventory popup, where you enter the new inventory code and quantity to convert. With one click, the batch moves to its new grade, carrying all test results and country eligibility data along. This ensures full traceability and compliance while updating pricing automatically – ideal for industries where quality and regulatory standards are non-negotiable.
The Business Impact:
By implementing Abel’s batch re-grading workflow, businesses gain speed, accuracy, and confidence. Every batch retains its complete history, even after conversion. Pricing changes happen automatically, reducing manual effort. Ultimately, this means tighter inventory control, improved compliance, and greater confidence in your data.
